A Florida high school that last week told a student to stop adding the phrase "God bless America" when reading scripted morning announcements, announced on Tuesday his use of the phrase does not violate the U.S. Constitution.

The principal at Yulee High School, located in north Florida near Jacksonville, had told the student to stopping use the phrase after receiving a six-page letter from the American Humanist Association, a group that describes itself as advocating for humanists, atheists and secular governance.

After stripping off her clothes, a Florida woman walked into traffic, where she performed a lewd act before climbing atop a Lexus and jumping and stomping on the occupied vehicle’s roof and hood, cops allege.

Amie Carter, 31, “appeared to be under the influence [of] a heavy unknown substance," according to an Orlando Police Department report detailing her antics Sunday night. "She appeared in an altered mental state, displaying extremely irrational and volatile behavior."

Responding to a 911 call about a “reported naked woman climbing on top of cars and walking in traffic,” cops found Carter attempting to mount a vehicle stopped at a traffic light. After officers wrestled an uncooperative Carter out of the roadway, they “secured her in handcuffs and covered her in a blanket.”

Sarah Carlson, a passenger in the Lexus, told police that Carter approached the vehicle and “fondled herself in front of the car” before climbing on the auto. Carter then allegedly “started stomping” on the vehicle’s hood, said Carlson, who added that Carter also threw a cell phone at the car behind the Lexus.

Carlson’s husband told cops that Carter left dents in his car’s roof and hood, damage he estimated at upwards of $1500.

Carter, seen above, was arrested for criminal mischief and exposure of sexual organs. She was booked into the Orange County jail, where she remains locked up in lieu of $1100 bond.

There was a chaotic scene at an Ocoee movie theater when hundreds of teens stormed the building, trying to get in for free, according to deputies.

The incident happened Saturday night at the AMC Theater at the West Oaks Mall.

Orange County sheriff's investigators said up to 900 middle and high school students tried storming the theater. Deputies said about 200 students were able to get inside the building before the security gates were closed.

"(It's) a big concern to us that are juveniles are doing this at such an early age," said Orange County Sheriff's Office Lt. Paul Hopkins.

Investigators said as the crowd was being taken from the area, several fights broke out in the parking lot.

Ocoee police on Monday said officers discovered about 300 teens causing a disturbance. Officers dispersed the crowd after many of them stormed the theater. One person was arrested at the theater on charges of battery and resisting arrest.

Gunfire was also reported and someone was robbed at gunpoint, but Ocoee police said on Monday that the shots turned out to be firecrackers. Police also said it wasn't believed that the robbery was connected to the theater incident. Three teens were arrested on allegations of stealing cellphones from two other teens at a nearby location, police said.

"Everybody just started scattering, ducking underneath the seats," said moviegoer Kenny Johnson. "It was a scary moment."

"These are middle to high school kids who have guns, who are shooting guns, are robbing people, driving stolen cars and they have drugs in their cars," Hopkins said.

Detectives told Local 6 on Monday that they're still trying to figure out who planned the storming of the theater. Police said they're looking into whether it was planned via social media, but they would not discuss any specifics.

The theater announced Monday that anyone under the age of 17 must now be accompanied by an adult after 9 p.m.

Police said it's doubtful any arrests would be made in the incident because they wouldn't be able to prove who had purchased a movie ticket.

RAMPUR: All was going well at the wedding ceremony of 25-year-old Jugal Kishore, a resident of Moradabad, and his 23-year-old bride Indira from Rampur. That's until the "varmala" ceremony, where the groom garlands his would-be wife, began.

Just as he extended his arms to do that, Kishore had an epileptic fit, falling to the ground in front of the whole gathering.

The young bride, angry that her family had been kept in the dark about Kishore's medical condition, promptly changed her mind and announced that she would happily marry at the same ceremony a guest at the wedding, a man called Harpal Singh. The latter, incidentally, turned out to be her sister's brother-in-law.

Singh, caught unawares and dressed in jeans and a leather jacket, fumbled for a moment before declaring he would willingly take Indira as his wife. This time the "varmala" was exchanged between Singh and Indira, which went off without any hitch, with the pandit reciting the mantras and asking the new couple to take the seven "pheras".

Meanwhile, Kishore, who had been rushed to a doctor by his relatives, went back to the venue after he regained consciousness to see that his wife-to-be was now someone else's.

Kishore pleaded with Indira, telling her that he would not be able to face friends and neighbours if he returned without her. His relatives, too, tried to intervene on his behalf. Where persuasion failed, violence was used — spoons, plates and dishes became weapons as wedding guests tried to force the bride to change her mind. But all in vain. The young woman stood firm.

Kishore and his relatives later filed an FIR at the Milak police station in Rampur district, which they eventually withdrew after elders intervened. SHO, Milak police station, RP Solanki said on Monday that cops had detained a few people who were there at the wedding.

"Both families have amicably resolved the matter," Solanki said. "The complaints have been withdrawn. Kishore and his family have now returned in peace to Moradabad."

The matter remains under investigation by the Mayville Police Department but officers believe the driver panicked and lost control of his vehicle. Driver factors were determined to be a failure to have control and unsafe backing. Neither alcohol nor drugs were present.

The driver was attempting to back out of a parking space while driving a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. As the driver pulled out, he struck two parked vehicles. The first was a 1998 Saturn SC1 owned by a 67-year-old Horicon man. The second was a 1998 Buick Lesabre owned by a 77-year-old Mayville woman. The 1998 Buick was pushed forward by the force of the crash into a 2005 Pontiac Bonneville, owned by a 53-year-old Mayville woman.

The driver then backed into two vehicles; a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee owned by a 27-year-old Mayville man and a 2011 Chevy Equinox owned by a 36-year-old Iron Ridge woman.

The driver drove forward and struck an additional vehicle, a 2014 Ford C-Max owned by a 63-year-old Beaver Dam woman. The driver then turned out of one of the parking rows and struck a 2005 Ford F150 truck, which was stopped to make a left turn. The vehicle was owned by a 30-year-old Horicon man.

The driver continued forward and struck two final vehicles, a 1997 Buick Park Avenue and a 2003 GMC Sierra owned by a 33-year-old Horicon woman. The 33-year-old Horicon woman was slowing down at the time of the crash.

Ten vehicles were involved in the crash, including the driver’s vehicle. The driver’s vehicle and the 2005 Ford F150 were towed from the scene. Seven of the vehicles involved in the crash were legally parked at the time of the accident.

The Mayville Police Department was assisted on scene by the Mayville Fire Department and Mayville EMS.

The incident remains under investigation at this time. No significant injuries were reported.

An Illinois man is jailed on domestic battery and child endangerment charges after he allegedly injured a seven-week-old girl when the baby would not stop crying while he watched an episode of “The Jerry Springer Show,” police charge.

Julian Anderson, 25, was arrested yesterday on several felony and misdemeanor charges related to an incident earlier this week at a residence in Aurora.

According to cops, Anderson was watching the “Springer” show when the baby--to whom he is related--began crying. Anderson, seen in the above mug shot, responded by squeezing the infant and placing his hands over her mouth.

Investigators became aware of injuries to the child when Anderson took her to a hospital Monday for treatment of a fever. Hospital workers alerted police after noticing injuries on the baby’s face and back that were consistent with abuse.

During subsequent police questioning, Anderson admitted to roughing up the baby while he was watching the television program.

Now locked up in the Kane County jail, Anderson is facing a pair of felony battery charges, as well as misdemeanor battery, child endangerment, and obstruction counts. He also has outstanding warrants charging him with domestic battery and burglary.

TULSA - A night out drinking and an argument with his girlfriend nearly cost a Tulsa man his penis.

Officers responded to a Tulsa hospital early Thursday morning where a man claimed his girlfriend attacked him while he slept.

Amber Ellis was arrested for maiming and assault with a dangerous weapon.

According to the police report, the victim said he and his girlfriend were out drinking and began arguing while walking home "about how needy she had become." The couple verbally fought in the apartment until the victim told police Ellis stormed off, slamming the bedroom door.

Police say the victim fell asleep on the couch only to wake up to find Ellis "biting his (penis) off."

The victim told police he fought Ellis off but she hit him in the head with a laptop computer.

Once hospitalized, the victim received several stitches to the base of his penis and was treated for injuries to his head, face, neck, fingers and knee.

Ellis was taken into custody for an interview and ultimately booked into the Tulsa County Jail.

A large security operation was launched on Tuesday night and the property cordoned off as searches were carried out in the Sliabh Dubh Lane. It followed a report that a number of rounds of ammunition had been discovered at an unoccupied house.

Further searches were carried out yesterday and a number of items removed by police for examination. Police sources said the suspected bullets were subsequently found to be imitation rounds used as buttons on Xbox 360 controllers.

>he 29-year-old Swede, who today calls himself “Abdul Samad al Swedi”, grew up in Gothenburg. He converted to Islam during a field trip to Egypt about ten years ago and has since been engaged in a series of tax-funded Muslim organizations.

> Michael Skråmo, 29, took the whole family – his little four children and wife – to the IS-controlled area inside Syria. Now Skråmo filmed a propaganda video outside the Syrian city Kobane where he preaches jihad and calls Swedish jihadists to leave Sweden and join the “holy war”.

A legally blind 93-year-old woman was able to pull an alarm and summon help from neighbors as a stranger battered and then sexually assaulted her in her apartment, the Broward Sheriff's Office said.

About 2:30 a.m. Monday, the woman had taken trash to the receptacle at the end of her hall and was surprised by Clyde Alvims Leandre, 22, of Delray Beach, according to Detective Ian Kuechler.

The incident happened in the Highland Gardens apartments at 331 Northeast 48th St. Each apartment has cords near beds and toilets that activate an emergency alarm as well as a hallway light outside a tenant's door.

"In her condition, with sight issues and she is technically, legally blind, she knew where to reach for that cord when she was forced upon that bed," Kuechler said during a press conference Monday at the Broward Sheriff's headquarters in Fort Lauderdale.

The alarm, her cries for help as well as the light drew the attention of three neighbors who entered the apartment through its unlocked front door, Kuechler wrote in his report.

"Initially some of the other residents of the building attempted to subdue the subject," the detective said. "However, they basically explained that he seemed to have about the strength of 10 men and was oblivious to them being in the room. He continued to grasp on to the female victim and restrained her in her bedroom."

Four deputies responded to a 911 call and also tried to remove Leandre, who was not wearing pants, according to the detective's report.

"He ignored their commands and he was tased," Kuechler said. "It had zero affect on him. They issued several strikes to him, again. It took four men to remove him."

Two deputies' hands were hurt and they were treated at Broward Health North and released. Leandre and the victim were admitted to the same hospital. The woman's back was injured during the incident and she was severely bruised, Kuechler said.

She was discharged from the hospital Monday, according to BSO.

Her neighbor Dan Magill, who lives next door, called the woman "sweet, nice and friendly."

Twila and Kennedy Green, Sr. said their friend had once enjoyed bingo games and other activities at the Northeast Focal Point Senior Center in the city.

"Her vision was keeping her home," Twila Green said. "She's just a very sweet person who didn't deserve what happened. I feel bad for that."

Leandre faces charges of burglary with assault or battery; sexual assault with a weapon; false imprisonment and resisting an officer without violence, the sheriff's office said.

Highland Gardens is a 100-unit complex where residents use key fobs to enter the building's locked front door. Those already inside their homes use an intercom to open the door for guests.

"It's a secure building," Kuechler said. "Ultimately the determination was made that [Leandre] had simply followed another person in who had access to the building."

The detective said surveillance video was being gathered for the investigation.

The apartment building is managed by the Broward County Housing Authority, which is not a part of county government but is a special district created by the state.

"We've had nothing like this before," said Ann Deibert, the authority's chief executive officer. "We're very upset that this happened. We take our families' welfare seriously and want to prevent anything like this from happening again."

The residences are for elderly and disabled people, Deibert said. There is a daytime property manager on site, but there are no security guards.

A tenants meeting will be held to update residents on the situation, Deibert said.

There are monthly meetings when residents are advised to not open the front door for anyone, but she also said, "We don't want to put them in harm's way. Adding security is something that we will take into consideration."

Florida man tries to pay bar tab with a rock, returns later with a faulty credit card, then later with a briefcase that allegedly contained, "a bomb or a baby."A judge has ordered a psychiatric examination for a man who allegedly tried to pay a bar tab with a rock, and then made a bogus bomb threat.

Cops in Tallahassee, Florida say that on Wednesday, Jared Simpson, 24, visited the 4th Quarter Bar & Grill and rung up a $10 tab. When it came time to pay up, Simpson allegedly tried to get the bartender to accept a rock as payment. When the woman decided that a stone wasn't legal tender, Simpson responded by throwing a ripped-up dollar bill at her and saying he "would pay [her] in other ways," according to the probable cause affidavit. One witness said Simpson told people he was "shot up in the war," but would not reveal the military branch he served in because "if I tell you I have to kill you," according to Tallahassee.com.

Simpson left the bar and came back a short time later with a credit card that didn't work, so the employee told him to pay up or leave.
Simpson left again, but came back again, this time in a gray suit and carrying a briefcase that he set down. After warning that "anyone who goes near this will die," Simpson allegedly ran out of the bar and across the street.

When Simpson was apprehended, he told police that the briefcase contained "maybe a bomb or a baby," WCTV.com reports. According to police, the suspect sang a song about being a "rainbow man," and refused to answer any questions about the briefcase other that saying, "I am my own master, I answer to myself, no police have the right to ask questions."

As the deadly carbon monoxide fumes from a gasoline-powered generator filled his lungs, a suicidal Conrad Roy III got scared and stepped out of his truck, but police say his 18-year-old girlfriend goaded him into taking his life with three chilling words: “Get back in.”

Roy, 18, was found dead on July 13 inside his truck in the parking lot of a Fairhaven Kmart. “The sickly sweet taste of exhaust gas still could be detected,” according to police.

Michelle Carter, who was a 17-year-old student at King Philip Regional High School at the time of Roy’s death, faces up to 20 years behind bars on a charge of involuntary manslaughter and will be tried as an adult.

“Michelle Carter not only encouraged Conrad to take his own life, she questioned him repeatedly as to when and why he hadn’t done it yet, right up to the point of when his final text was sent to her on Saturday evening, July 12, 2014 at 6:26 p.m.,” the police report states.

Carter referred to Roy as her “guardian angel,” and continued texting his cellphone 71 times after he died, according to police.

After his death, the messages show Carter morphing into a suicide awareness crusader, hosting a fundraiser in his name and comforting his grieving mother and sister, according to the filings.

The night before Roy’s suicide, Carter texted a friend, seemingly worried about his whereabouts: “I’m losing all hope that he’s even still alive” — and “I’m thankful that our last words were ‘I love you.’ ”

But just before sending that message, she texted Roy: “Let me know when you’re gonna do it.”

Police say Carter never called 911 and instead continued texting her friends, feigning concern.

“I tried talking him out of it so many times,” Carter wrote, “and telling him how we could always be together and he wanted that but he thought he would never truly be happy with himself.”

She even organized a baseball fundraiser called “Homers for Conrad” that pulled in more than $2,300 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

No one answered the phone at Carter’s Plainville home yesterday. But her lawyer, Joseph Cataldo, told the Herald, “It’s a sad story but what we have is a young man who made a voluntary decision to take his own life — it was his voluntary decision — his death was not caused by Michelle Carter.

“It is a slippery slope if the government is now going to prosecute people under a manslaughter — a 20-year felony charge — for not preventing those who want to commit suicide and that’s what they’re trying to do here,” Cataldo said.

Roy’s distraught grandparents called the tale “bizarre” and “mind-boggling” and said they were “shocked” when they heard about Carter’s emails and texts.

“It was just horrible to live this all over again and to find out how this came about. I mean, we knew he was suffering from depression, but we thought he was getting over it all,” Janice Roy, his grandmother, said in her Mattapoisett home.

Asked if they thought Carter’s messages convinced Roy to kill himself, his grandfather Conrad Roy Sr. said, “Her texts had a big influence on what happened.”

Added Janice Roy: It’s hard to say why, but after reading the reports ... I don’t think he would have done anything at that time.”

Both remembered a happy grandson who loved baseball and rowing and was ecstatic when he earned his captain’s license, following in both his father and grandfather’s footsteps.

Conrad Roy Sr. said he took him out on his tug boat when “C3” was just 3-days-old. “That was like the start of the third generation when he got his captain’s license,” Roy said. “That was like the most heart-warming thing that I could remember.”

>According to recent reports, certain Dalhousie University professors are floating the idea that making sure women and minorities are allowed to speak first on any given subject is an appropriate response to allegations of misogyny and racism on campus.

>Jude Ashburn, who works at an outreach center near the university, said some students – specifically blacks and women – are at a disadvantage because of what has become known as “white privilege.”

>To drive this underlying prejudice home, she said she often begins workshops by telling attendees that “if you’re white and you look like me and you raise your hand, I’m not going to pick on you before someone of color.”

>Citing the inherent benefit she believes white men enjoy on the campus of Dalhousie and other universities, Ashburn stated that “anyone who holds privilege in this culture needs to seriously begin the work of giving up that privilege and learning how to live without it.”

>“It’s no secret that solar power is hot right now, with innovators and big name companies alike putting a great deal of time, money, and effort into improving these amazing sources of renewable energy. Still, the last thing you’d likely expect is for a new experimental array to literally light nearly 130 birds in mid-flight on fire.

And yet, that’s exactly what happened near Tonopah, Nevada last month during tests of the 110-megawatt Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project.”

>“According to Rudy Evenson, Deputy Chief of Communications for Nevada Bureau of Land Management (NBLM) in Reno, as reported by Re Wire, a third of the newly constructed plant was put into action on the morning of Jan. 14, redirecting concentrated solar energy to a point 1,200 feet above the ground.”

>“Unfortunately, about two hours into the test, engineers and biologists on site started noticing “streamers” – trails of smoke and steam caused by birds flying directly into the field of solar radiation. What moisture was on them instantly vaporized, and some instantly burst into flames – at least, until they began to frantically flap away. An estimated 130 birds were injured or killed during the test.”

>>101284>>101291Wait, I know a guy from high school who was a good friend of mine who lost a testicle from being kicked in the balls and got a transplant from a black dude. So he has one white ball and one black ball. I know because he wouldn't stop talking about how the black ball is bigger then his other ball.

>"They're nervous," Frank Forte said. He told FCN his daughter was attacked. "They're going outside...the kids are going out with helmets on. Umbrellas. Even when I go take the garbage out at night. I got a cardboard box over my head."

> "They said it was probably somebody's pet and it was hand-fed. So, it's really not attacking. It's just looking for somebody to feed it."

>Parker said it may sound silly, but the best things people can do until the situation is solved, is to wear a hard hat or carry an umbrella and pop the umbrella up so the bird does not see you.

>A Florida man who confessed to shooting and killing his neighbor after an alleged struggle brought the dead man's body to his lawyer's office in his pickup truck Wednesday. According to the Fort Myers News-Press, the man "didn't know who else to trust."

>Alaska Republican Rep. Don Young, famous for his salty tongue and brusque demeanor, suggested Thursday that if he let loose wolves in some congressional districts, they “wouldn’t have a homeless problem anymore.”

>The strange comment was made during a halting five-minute exchange with Interior Secretary Sally Jewell during a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on her agency’s budget. He accused her and her department of making decisions without consulting the states they’d affect.

>Young, who supports taking gray wolves off the endangered species list, mocked a letter 79 members of Congress sent urging Jewell to protect the gray wolf population. (In Alaska, for what it’s worth, you can hunt wolves.)

>“How many of you have got wolves in your district?” he asked. “None. None. Not one.”

In a state that had already produced one “Poopgangsta,” Ohio cops are trying to identify the man for responsible for defecating on at least 20 vehicles since 2012.

As seen here, the suspect was photographed Tuesday by an Akron city worker who set out to determine who had pooped on his daughter’s car seven times in the past four months.

Police in Akron--previously best known as the birthplace of LeBron James--note that while the subject was photographed as he hovered over the hood of a Dodge Neon, he has also smeared excrement on door handles and even entered unlocked cars and pooped inside.

In one of the earliest reported defecations, a victim reported that someone had--for the second time--pooped on the passenger door of his Toyota. Cops noted that while “The excrement did not cause any damage to the car,” the vile act “did cause a big mess.”

Now that an image of the pasty suspect has been circulated, Akron cops have asked the public to phone tips into them at (330) 275-2552.

>Police are looking for a driver who shot a woman in rush hour traffic along the North Freeway inbound lanes.

>Deputy constables with Precinct 4 say the woman was driving southbound on the I-45 North Freeway north of Richey when a white truck cut her off, weaving in and out of traffic. The woman says she heard gunshots and glass shatter from her passenger side window.

>The woman called 911 and then pulled over just before the Richey exit. Deputy constables say that's when she realized she had been shot in the back of the head.

>Emergency crews are taking her to the hospital. They say the bullet is still in the back of the woman's head, but she is alert and conscious.

>Deputies are still searching for the gunman. They believe he may have sideswiped at least one other vehicle before possibly taking a U-Turn to head north.

People cutting you off then other driver shoots you. You are either going to drive the right way or be exterminated here in Houston.

>Katherine Byr, a senior at Brown University and a member of its Sexual Assault Task Force, considers it her duty to make Brown a safe place for rape victims, free from anything that might prompt memories of trauma.

>So when she heard last fall that a student group had organized a debate about campus sexual assault between Jessica Valenti, the founder of feministing.com, and Wendy McElroy, a libertarian, and that Ms. McElroy was likely to criticize the term “rape culture,” Ms. Byron was alarmed. “Bringing in a speaker like that could serve to invalidate people’s experiences,” she told me. It could be “damaging.”

>The safe space, Ms. Byron explained, was intended to give people who might find comments “troubling” or “triggering,” a place to recuperate. The room was equipped with cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies, as well as students and staff members trained to deal with trauma. Emma Hall, a junior, rape survivor and “sexual assault peer educator” who helped set up the room and worked in it during the debate, estimates that a couple of dozen people used it. At one point she went to the lecture hall — it was packed — but after a while, she had to return to the safe space. “I was feeling bombarded by a lot of viewpoints that really go against my dearly and closely held beliefs,” Ms. Hall said.
>"my dearly and closely held beliefs"
And people think Christians are bad.

>But the notion that ticklish conversations must be scrubbed clean of controversy has a way of leaking out and spreading. Once you designate some spaces as safe, you imply that the rest are unsafe. It follows that they should be made safer.

>This logic clearly informed a campaign undertaken this fall by a Columbia University student group called Everyone Allied Against Homophobia that consisted of slipping a flier under the door of every dorm room on campus. The headline of the flier stated, “I want this space to be a safer space.” The text below instructed students to tape the fliers to their windows. The group’s vice president then had the flier published in the Columbia Daily Spectator, the student newspaper, along with an editorial asserting that “making spaces safer is about learning how to be kind to each other.”

>A junior named Adam Shapiro decided he didn’t want his room to be a safer space. He printed up his own flier calling it a dangerous space and had that, too, published in the Columbia Daily Spectator. “Kindness alone won’t allow us to gain more insight into truth,” he wrote. In an interview, Mr. Shapiro said, “If the point of a safe space is therapy for people who feel victimized by traumatization, that sounds like a great mission.” But a safe-space mentality has begun infiltrating classrooms, he said, making both professors and students loath to say anything that might hurt someone’s feelings. “I don’t see how you can have a therapeutic space that’s also an intellectual space,” he said.

Can we just admit that colleges are now infested with communists and reds?

>>101819You got it all wrong it's not communism but feel goodiness. Everyone wants to make others think they are good people so they fall into line with this kind of bullshit. It's the same thing that happened with Kony 2012. Everyone started posting it on their social media to make it look like they are progressive, forward thinkers who are in with the latest of the feel goodiness. It's like people these days need to prove that they are good people, when instead they should just be good people.

A larger-than-life robber waving a gun across his hefty frame burst into a Domino’s pizzeria in a quiet Long Island village with an appetite for more than cash, victims said.
The man, believed to weigh at least 350 pounds, robbed the store in Sayville on Tuesday afternoon and demanded an employee serve him two pizzas before he left, Domino’s district manager Robert Warren told CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan in this exclusive report.

“This is the kind of guy we are dealing with here,” Warren said. “It’s odd for this in Sayville”
The suspect then fled on Sunrise Highway.

The crime, which was caught on a security camera, has many in Sayville on edge.
Employee and victim Ray Brenkert recounted the panic.

“I’ve got to do what he says and try to get us out of here alive,” Brenkert said of his thinking during the encounter. ” … He told me get on my knees and open the safe.”
But the safe is time released and won’t open at will.

“When I told him that, he was like, ‘Well, you either open the safe or I’m going to shoot you in the head,'” Brenkert said. “And I was like, ‘Uh oh.’
“I tried to reason with him. I was like, ‘It’s not going to open. There’s nothing I can do.’ And then he got really angry and he took my cellphone, told me get on the ground and pulled the phone out of the wall. And I just did what he said because he had a gun to my head.”

Resigned to a fistful of cash from the register, the hefty robber then spotted the two bubbling pies — large with cheese.
It was approaching dinner hour.

A man robbed a Domino's Pizza in Sayville at gunpoint, demanding two pizzas for himself as well as cash.
“Taking the pizzas at the end is just a crazy twist to a maniacal story to begin with,” Warren said. “He saw the pizzas coming out of the oven and requested my employee to take them out of the oven, slice them up and box them up for him.”
The robber is described as white and 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall. He was wearing a mask.
Cops are crediting the workers for following proper protocol.

Police and Domino’s hope to be able to release the surveillance video this week, and investigators think the suspect’s distinctive looks could help lead to his capture.

A jury today found a Michigan woman guilty of firing a shot into a McDonald’s drive-thru window after employees failed to put bacon on a cheeseburger she ordered.

Shaneka Monique Torres, 30, was convicted of a felony firearms charge after only an hour of deliberations by the panel. Torres, seen at right, faces a minimum of two years in state prison when she is sentenced next month.

Torres fired a single shot into the McDonald’s at 3:10 AM last February 10, according to Grand Rapids police. The gunplay came after Torres and another woman “complained that the order was incorrect,” cops noted.

When a McDonald’s employee walked away from the drive-thru window, “one shot was fired from the suspect vehicle,” reported police, who added that the bullet entered the eatery at “head level” and “traveled through the window, across the dining room, and exited the restaurant through another window on the east side of the restaurant.”

Shortly after the shooting--which did not result in any injuries--cops located Torres and recovered the 9mm Glock handgun used during the bacon rage incident.

>ACROSS Africa, radio call-in programmes are buzzing with tales of Africans, usually men, bemoaning the loss of their spouses and partners to rich Chinese men. “He looks short and ugly like a pygmy but I guess he has money,” complained one lovelorn man on a recent Kenyan show. True or imagined, such stories say much about the perceived economic power of Chinese businessmen in Africa, and of the growing backlash against them.

>China has become by far Africa’s biggest trading partner, exchanging about $160 billion-worth of goods a year; more than 1m Chinese, most of them labourers and traders, have moved to the continent in the past decade. The mutual adoration between governments continues, with ever more African roads and mines built by Chinese firms. But the talk of Africa becoming Chinese—or “China’s second continent”, as the title of one American book puts it—is overdone.

>The growth in Chinese demand for commodities is slowing and prices of many raw materials are falling. That said, China’s hunger for agricultural goods, and perhaps for farm land, may grow as China’s population expands and the middle class becomes richer.

>Yet Africans are increasingly suspicious of Chinese firms, worrying about unfair deals and environmental damage. Opposition is fuelled by Africa’s thriving civil society, which demands more transparency and an accounting for human rights. This can be an unfamiliar challenge for authoritarian China, whose foreign policy is heavily based on state-to-state relations, with little appreciation of the gulf between African rulers and their people. In Senegal residents’ organisations last year blocked a deal that would have handed a prime section of property in the centre of the capital, Dakar, to Chinese developers. In Tanzania labour unions criticised the government for letting in Chinese petty traders.

>SAN FRANCISCO — A California lawyer has proposed a ballot measure that advocates killing gays, putting the state’s process of giving citizens the right to make laws at the ballot box to its latest test.

>The state attorney general, Kamala Harris, took the unusual step on Wednesday of asking a court for permission to reject the proposed ballot initiative, which has been called offensive, outrageous, reprehensible and illegal. The initiative states that anyone who engages in sex with a person of the same gender would be killed “by bullets to the head or by any other convenient method.”

>Although the so-called Sodomite Suppression Act would undoubtedly be struck down as unconstitutional in the unlikely event it passed, Harris said that unless a judge ruled otherwise, she would have no choice but to give its sponsor the go-ahead to gather the nearly 366,000 votes needed to qualify it for the November 2016 ballot.

>Harris’ action followed weeks of mounting alarm and anger over the initiative, which also would make the distribution of gay “propaganda” an offence punishable by a $1 million fine or banishment from the state, and her lack of authority to quash it.

>California is one of 21 states where citizens can petition to have laws put on the ballot through the gathering of voter signatures. Under California’s initiative process, state officials do not have authority to refuse to administer initiatives they find objectionable, the California Supreme Court has ruled.

Shit, just this afternoon, I saw a vid of some thing a woman birthed; the head and torso were fused together (no neck), with the "face" appearing to be no more than three dots (possibly the eyes and a nostril, from their placement) and where the mouth should be, looked like a hole ringed with what could have been a single lip. It had four limbs that could have been multi-jointed, but hung limply, like noodles, and each only had a nub a short distance from the terminus of the limb, which implied possible "thumbs."

WE had a school shooting and pursuit all morning up here in tally. Can't find a news article yet. Was lulzy when we asked the cop and he was like 'lul, I don't have my scanner on. They'll call me when something interesting happens / the find him again"

Stokes is the same teen who received a heart transplant in 2013 after he was originally denied. Doctors had ruled him non-compliant.

"We met with the transplant committee and they told us they were considering all the other stuff, which shocked us," Rev. Samuel Mosteller, President of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference for the state of Georgia, said at the time. "They talked about truancy, they talked about absence in school, juvenile, there was a list in those things - poverty was one of the criteria."

At the time of the transplant, Mosteller said Stokes does not fit the stereotype of somebody who is a criminal.

>The day before he put a gun to his head and killed himself at an M Resort buffet on Easter, a Las Vegas man filled a box with his complaints against the resort and its employees and mailed it to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

>In his final, angry message to the world, delivered to the newspaper Monday morning, John Noble blamed his suicide on depression that set in after the Henderson resort awarded him free meals at the buffet for life then banned him from the property in 2013 for harassing some of the women working there.

>“Today, I end my life due to the M Resort Spa Casino and its employees,” the 53-year-old Noble wrote in one of two suicide notes he included with an obsessively detailed dossier on the people he blamed for destroying his life.

>At about 4:50 p.m. Sunday, Noble shot himself in the resort on Las Vegas Boulevard South near St. Rose Parkway. Henderson firefighters were already at the resort’s parking garage extinguishing a burning vehicle police now say belonged to Noble.

>Chokalingam was motivated to commit the fraud by the fact that he had a relatively low Grade Point Average of 3.1. Suspecting that certain US universities were employing affirmative action and positively discriminating in favour of candidates with an African American background, he decided to "test" his theory by rebranding himself as a black man.

>According to his website, as a "black" candidate with a 3.1 GPA, Chokalingam was considered by medical schools including Harvard, Pennsylvania and Columbia, and was eventually accepted by St Louis University in Missouri. He later dropped out, after changing his mind about pursuing a career in medicine, and now works (in a somewhat ironic twist) as a resume writer and graduate school application consultant. He has made it clear that he lied only about his race: all other details on his application were correct.

I had a summer job at a pool supply store as a teen, was right next to a marshy area and there was lots of tarps out back. Clearing snakes was a regular part of the business. In PA of course, I could only imagine doing the same job in Flawda.

Head teachers to report parents to police and social services if they let their children play Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty

>Parents are in danger of being reported to police by their children's head teachers if they allow them to play video games for over 18s.

>A letter sent by a group of schools in Cheshire raised concerns about the 'levels of violence and sexual content' young people are being exposed to by playing games such as Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, which are renowned for their violent characters and have an 18 classification.

>It warns that if teachers are made aware their pupils have been playing these video games they will contact police and social services.

>The letter also warns: 'If your child is allowed to have inappropriate access to any game or associated product that is designated 18+ we are advised to contact the Police and Children’s Social Care as it is neglectful.'

>Mature games are for mature gamers! Let your kid play these games and we'll take him away! Don't worry there is plenty of new immigrant Muslim families that are always looking for children to groom and take care of!

Maybe this will finally get rid of the scourge of online gaming, British children.

>A Turkish politician who has been the Mayor of Ankara since 1994 is currently being sued after unveiling a 20-foot-tall metal robot in the city.

>Taxpayers hit the roof when Mayor Melih Gökçek pulled the sheet off his Transformer-like masterpiece, saying it is an enormous waste of their money – and rightly so, as he blew a pretty big budget on it.

After the public backlash, Gökçek simply replied ‘Respect the robot’, which surprisingly only made things worse.

Police in South Carolina arrested a North Charleston woman Monday night after she allegedly stabbed her roommate multiple times for refusing to stop playing music by the classic rock band The Eagles.

According to the official report, Vernett Bader, 54, became irritated with her 64-year-old roommate (and one-time boyfriend) after he rejected her pleas to turn off the Eagles and told her to "shut up."

Bader then entered the kitchen and grabbed a serrated knife, which she subsequently used to stab her roommate several times in the arm, hand, and elbow.

The roommate and his brother managed to wrestle the knife away from Bader, but she quickly retrieved another from the kitchen.

All three were intoxicated at the time, per the report.

It's unclear which of the band's songs drove Bader over the edge, but police have narrowed down the possible suspects to "Witchy Woman," "Take It Easy," "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Take It to the Limit," "One of These Nights," "Tequila Sunrise," and "Hotel California" on repeat.

Bader confessed to the crime, but claimed it was an act of self-defense to counter her roommate's choking.

Investigators say Bader did not have any visible marks on her neck.

Police charged Bader with criminal domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature and she was booked into the Charleston County jail, where she remained held as of this afternoon.

I remember when my mom called the cops and said I choked her. I told them "I never choked her. I punched her. She punched me and started throwing things like heavy candles at me, so I punched her and shoved her against a wall to stop her." Cops like honesty, they threatened to charge her if she called again.

>A Colorado man who has been “fighting with his computer for the last several months” unloaded a volley of shots into his Dell tormentor, resulting in the death of the computer and him being cited for discharging a firearm, cops report.

>According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, officers responding last night to a 911 call about shots fired discovered that a “fed up” Lucas Hinch took his computer into a back alley and “fired 8 shots into the computer with a handgun, effectively disabling it.”

>Hinch, 38, was cited for discharging a firearm within city limits, according to a police blotter entry that includes the summary description “Man Kills His Computer.”

>When asked about the shooting, Hinch told TSG, “I just had it,” adding that he tired of the balky computer’s “blue screen of death.” Hinch said that he whacked the computer with a 9mm Hi-Point pistol recently purchased from a Craigslist seller. The gun was seized by police, who left the computer behind.

A man from England has been charged after he was accused of urinating in an ice machine at Hard Rock Hotel, according to the Orlando Police Department.

The incident happened around 12 a.m. Tuesday at the hotel at 5800 Universal Blvd.

A security officer told police that he was approached by a guest in the lobby who informed him there was a very intoxicated guest in the hotel. The security officer was taken by the guest to the intoxicated person, identified by police as Andrew Wood, 41.

The security officer approached Wood and saw him urinating in an ice machine, the arrest report said.

Police said the security officer attempted several times to get the guest to identify himself and tell him what room he was staying in.

The guest refused to identify himself and became very uncooperative and combative, and was becoming very loud and disturbing hotel guests, according to Orlando police. That is when the security officer called Orlando police.

When police arrived, an officer noticed Wood was extremely intoxicated, with the odor of alcohol emanating from him, and was having random outbursts, authorities said.

The police officer told Wood to stay in his hotel room for the night because of his actions or he would be placed under arrest for disorderly conduct in a public establishment. Police said Wood refused to stay in his room and continued to be disruptive in the hallway.

Wood was then arrested and taken to jail, where he continued to be disruptive in the jail and was booked by jail staff, police said.

>According to a statement from the Ministry of Culture on Thursday, the government plans to work closely with the police to eliminate such performances, which are held with the goal of drawing more mourners.

>Pictures of a funeral in the city of Handan in northern Hebei province last month showed a dancer removing her bra as assembled parents and children watched. They were widely circulated online, prompting much opprobrium. In its Thursday statement, the Ministry of Culture cited “obscene” performances in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu, as well as in Handan, and pledged to crack down on such lascivious last rites.

>In the Handan incident earlier this year, the ministry said, six performers had arrived to offer an erotic dance at the funeral of an elderly resident. Investigators were dispatched and the performance was found to have violated public security regulations, with the person responsible for the performing troupe in question detained administratively for 15 days and fined 70,000 yuan (about $11,300), the statement said. The government condemned such performances for corrupting the social atmosphere.

>The point of inviting strippers, some of whom performed with snakes, was to attract large crowds to the deceased’s funeral – seen as a harbinger of good fortune in the afterlife. “It’s to give them face,” one villager explained. “Otherwise no one would come.

>Pagan is the third-highest-paid member on Cochran’s staff of roughly 30, according to congressional records available at Legistorm.com. He is registered to vote as a Democrat, according to D.C. records.

>According to an affidavit filed with the court, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers detected the drug gamma-butyrolactone, or GBL, in a DHL package from China addressed to Pagan’s home in Northwest Washington on April 9.

>GBL, said to build muscle, enhance love-making abilities and aid sleep, breaks down into the “date rape” party drug gamma hydroxybutyrate, or GHB. Both are controlled substances. The package, addressed to “Longevity Concepts LNC, Fred Pagan,” weighed about 1.1 kilograms and was intercepted at a DHL facility in Cincinnati, Waugh said in an affidavit.

>On April 23, D.C. police detectives and agents with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations arm served an early morning search warrant on Pagan’s home in the 5700 block of Colorado Avenue NWh. They found plastic bags with about 181.5 grams of a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine, according to Special Agent Mark Waugh of the Department of Homeland Security.

>The ICE agent said Pagan stated he had received three previous shipments of GBL and knew it was illegal. Pagan said his distributor had him receive the methamphetamine from California to avoid detection, Waugh said, adding that “Pagan stated that he intended to distribute both the GBL and methamphetamine in exchange for sexual favors.”

>In a 2006 profile in the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, a former teacher of Pagan’s wrote that Pagan has worked for Cochran since Pagan was 16 years old. Pagan reportedly completed high school studies through correspondence and did not attend college, working as a page, then intern and office manager.

>>102546I've been able to catch live streams of this, Ferguson, and my family and I had to deal with the dindus protesting rioting, looting, and blocking traffic on the high ways in the cities nearby. Its always the same; young upstanding urban gentleman of the basketball persuasion along with a scattering of white hipsterish twenty somethings filming everything on their iphones. One of the stores of the company I work for got looted and vandalized. One of the people who did it said it was because "[company I work for] doesn't build stores in black neighborhoods because they're racist". When my black manager heard that he just got depressed that people are this stupid.

Pretty fun to watch from the comfort of your home. Not really comforting at all though when you live near these areas and are affected by it.

>One such feminist is a person named Pad who has been helping women in more than one way for quite some time now. Pad is different and from a very young age has believed that she was born wrong, and in fact shouldn’t be a person, nor is Pad a person. Pad believes that she should have been born a feminine hygiene Pad, and that a pad is what she always has been and will always continue to be.

>Months ago Pad created a program that provides feminine hygiene products for women in need. This has helped many women get the products that they need each month at no cost to them. A few months ago she donated about $85 worth of feminine hygiene products to help homeless women near Chicago, another month she donated products to a woman who was seeking employment at the time, as well as donating products to women in his own community.

>Pad’s YouTube channel is called “The Pad Diaries” and it showcases video game play videos as well as educational material related to feminine hygiene. Pad shows support for Leelah and those like her in many ways, such as the song for his YouTube channel, “For The Lost and The Brave” is a song by Ray Toro which is dedicated to Leelah Alcorn. Pad’s channel in itself is also dedicated to her memory. Pad’s YouTube channel has become quite a success since its release. It now has 444 subscribers, 155,054 views across all videos and 1,137,567 estimated minutes watched across all videos

I guess this person was some kind of potential lolcow awhile back. Apparently the CWCwiki forums banned Pad and all Pad related discussion because she or she or it whatever found out and started posting in her/she/its threads. And he/she/it turned out to be an actually very nice, kind, warm hearted person, like the exact opposite of Chris Chan. So of course, the cretins on CWCwiki couldn't get any fun out of Pad.

>>102593>he/she/it turned out to be an actually very nice, kind, warm hearted person

I don't care if she is Mother Teresa's and Mr Roger's illegitimate love child, that doesn't excuse her.....it...... whatever thinking she is a freaking maxi pad. I barely think calling her a her is kosher despite my notorious BIG liberal douch leanings because its just looks like a fucking dude that wants to be called a pretty, pretty princess with no attempt whatsoever at transitioning. But whatever, her choice to be called a she just as its her choice to be called a feminine hygiene product.

Thats just by far the most retardedly stupid dumb shit I've heard, well read, on the internet and I've been from one side of the cesspit to the other. From the dank bowels of the internet with its horrifying futa on shota urethra scat vore pony porn to just the retarded realm of Facebook that is probably more horrifying in then the pony porn in its own special way and nothing tops this.

I wonder if this women is just taking a piss at people to get a rise and maybe get some attention to homeless chicks in need of pads but I fucking doubt it.

I'll admit though I'm kinda interest in seeing her Lets Plays just because of perverse curiosity.

>An off-duty Houston Police Department officer opened fire on a suspect outside his Manvel home late Tuesday.

>The off-duty officer said he was looking at his surveillance cameras when he saw a shadowy figure on his front porch. The officer, and father of young children, grabbed his pistol and went outside, opening fire as the suspect ran away.

>About a dozen shots were fired, but Manvel police believe the suspect was not struck. In the street, the man left behind a bike that he apparently tried to steal from the home's front porch.

>When Orioles first baseman Chris Davis slammed a three-run homer over the right-field scoreboard in the first inning Wednesday during an historic afternoon at Camden Yards, there was no wild cheering.

>“When you’re rounding the bases, and the only cheers you hear were from outside the stadium, it’s a weird feeling,” Davis said. “I’ll take any home run I can get at any time I can get it, but it’s definitely more fun when there are fans in the stands.”

>That was the extent of the celebration in a six-run first that propelled the Orioles to an 8-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox in the only contest played between the two this week.

>Because the club did not want to pull security resources away from potential riot scenes in the city — and because it did not want to postpone all three games of the series — the teams played Wednesday in what is believed to be the first contest in Major League Baseball history without any fans.

>The others were postponed — and rescheduled for a doubleheader here on a mutual off-day May 28 — due to prolonged civil unrest that escalated Saturday and again Monday following the death of city resident Freddie Gray while in police custody.

>The stadium’s seating section, capacity 45,971, was empty with the exception of two scouts, the pitch-information scoreboard operator and the occasional news photographer. No family members, no ushers, not even the stadium vendor with the shrill “beer” call that has become ubiquitous over the years.

hmmm....

An off-grid homeschool family of 12 in rural Kentucky was raided, the mother arrested, and the 10 children seized simply because the government disagrees with their lifestyle and their educational choices, family members and friends say.

Until Wednesday, Joe and Nicole Naugler lived with their 10 kids in a cabin on 26 acres in Breckinridge County, about an hour southwest of Louisville.

“They are an extremely happy family,” family friend Pace Ellsworth told Off The Grid News.
Police Seize 10 Children From Off-Grid Family Because They’re Homeschooled

Nicole Naugler.

Acting on an anonymous tip about the family’s off-grid lifestyle, sheriff’s officers entered the property and home Wednesday, and even blocked the access road to the family property, the family says. Joe and eight of the children were away, but Nicole – who is five-months pregnant – was home with the two oldest kids. Sheriff deputies then seemingly allowed Nicole and the two children to drive away but they got only a short distance before deputies pulled them over and took the two children away from the mom, who was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. (She says the arrest took place after she did not passively allow deputies to take the children.) Nicole was able to contact her husband and have a brief conversation.

>>102889>In unschooling, there is no set curriculum and the education is based on each child’s strength.

Yeah, that's all you should have to read to know how full of shit this article is. Actually, you probably could have stopped at offthegridnews.com...

Cruise down to the comment section, where people familiar with the story are taking about it. Sounds like they had 12 (soon to be 13) people living in a ~350sq ft cabin with no running water, and the kids weren't enrolled in ANY kind of school program, public, home, or "un".

In fairness, that could all be false. I'm not going to actually research this, because I don't care enough. But if even part of what they were saying is true, removal is the best thing that could happen to those little fuckers.

>>102889>>102893I ended up looking up more about it. I'm under the impression that they will get their children back if they comply with standards set forth by the court.

Nothing wrong with homeschooling your children, but whether you do that, public, or private, or whatever, it is essential that the American child's education must meet whatever minimum standards are set forth by the state. That 'unschooling' philosophy takes only a small part of any normal child's daily life and makes it the entire focus.

The short of it is that this wasn't their first run-in with CPS, they lived in the sort of way that Doomguy loves to hate on, some of the children don't have identification documents, and the dad's been stealing water from his neighbors as well as having a record for bad checks, driving without insurance, and not showing up to court.

Even if they weren't trailer trash, I don't consider living 'off-the-grid' to be a valid lifestyle choice in this day and age. I'm all for modern homesteading, but the Nauglers are doing borderline sovereign citizen crap.

Like any normal day, Boyd Jentzsch and his son, Kai, put out food for the family of Muscovy ducks that lived outside their Wellington home.

But on May 2 as they watched out their patio door at the mother duck and her 11 ducklings peck at their food, a lawn worker plotted a different fate for the birds, according to an arrest report.

He gunned his riding lawnmower toward the ducks, which were perched on the grass near a tree in the family's yard, and swerved his blades over them, the report stated. Inside, the family of three watched and screamed at what they had just witnessed.

"We were horrified," said Jentzsch. "I couldn't believe it was happening. It was totally disgusting."

The landscaper, Jason Falbo, 24, of Royal Palm Beach, was arrested Wednesday and charged with nine counts of animal cruelty by Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control.

Officers were called to the family's home at about 2:30 p.m. the day the ducks died.

As Jentzsch's wife, Laura Gontchar recalls, the day started beautifully. She said Kai, 7, loves animals and grew especially fond of the ducks that would waddle up into the family's backyard.

Gontchar said the ducklings weren't more than a few days old. Meanwhile, Falbo's lawnmower hummed along the side of the house and Kai watched as his beloved ducks ate their lunch.

Then, the lawmower appeared. Jentzsch said the blades on the mower were up, lifted above the grass. In an instant the blades went down and a flurry of feathers, bones and small beaks went flying into the air.

The three bolted out the door; first Gontchar, then Kai, then Jentzsch.

"What are you doing?" Jentzsch remembers screaming, as Kai and Gontchar became more and more hysterical. "These are our friends. These are our babies, we love to feed them!"

Falbo sat on his mower, backed up and ran over the ducklings again, the family said. This time he smiled and laughed. Four ducklings managed to get away, hobbling with their mother into the lake, but two drowned. Out of the 11 ducklings, only two survived, according to the report.

"What are you doing to my ducks?" Kai wailed, his father remembers. "Why are you laughing?"

The boy, in tears, ran from the backyard and back into his house. Jentzsch and his wife were stunned.

"It was one of the most emotional things I've ever seen," Jentzsch said. "It was just — wow."

Jentzsch called the police and the county's Animal Care and Control, who found the remains of the birds.

When the officials were gone, the family sat inside and cried. Kai grabbed his iPad and started watching cartoons.

"I don't want to hear about it," he told his dad. "I'm too upset."

Nearly two weeks later, the family is still reeling from witnessing the traumatic event. On his way to the school bus stop Thursday, Kai asked Jentzsch whether he thought more ducks would come and if they could take care of them so he could remember what it felt like.

It's hard for the couple to explain to Kai why this happened, they said.

"He asked me, 'Is everybody out there like this?'" Jentzsch said.

Officers said they were able to make contact with Falbo about the attack a few hours after the incident occurred. They wrote in the report that the nine baby ducks lost their lives "cruelly and viciously with extreme intent."

Records show Falbo was arrested in March for domestic battery and aggravated child abuse after he was accused of beating his girlfriend.

He is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail on $27,000 bail on the animal cruelty charges.

Gontchar said she is still emotional from what she and her family saw, but she and her husband are trying to use this experience as an opportunity to teach their son about the value of life and how cruel some people can be.

"A person came and ruined the lives of those birds," she said. "We talked about it, going through death and questions like that, and how things need to be done when he sees these cruel things happen. I think that was a very powerful and hurtful experience for him to see."

Shit like that seriously fucking enrages me. I hunt, I kill animals but never in fucking cold blood. If I kill something it is with purpose, never for shit and giggles, not even bugs. If I kill an insect its because its a pest, its into something it should not be.

This motherfucker, this waste of flesh and air, this fucking piece of shit who should have a metal rod shoved up his fat ass and out his mouth after being castrated with a rusty pair of pliers, murders a bunch of ducklings because they are there, because his dick is small damn small he gets off killing tiny little animals.

This really speaks of my character though. Here I am fantasizing about extreme violence on this goddamn extreme late term abortion because he killed some fucking ducks, forehead vein throbbing, heart racing, rage boiling in my veins, and I can barely work up a fuck when ISIS murders a bunch of people, with Boko Haram kidnaps a bunch of girls to use a sex slaves, it bothers me and I think they people should be destroyed with extreme prejudice but doesn't anger me to the point I personally want to do something about it.

I'd fight ISIS if given the chance, sure, but thats if it was group thing. I wouldn't take the intiative, I'd do it because all the cool kids are doing it and I gotta jump from dem bridges.

But this shit spewing cunt filled with lies and murder, holy fuck, the horrifying things my mind is thinking up I'd want to do to him, only half of which involves rusty implements and his genitals, there'd be no following, I want to personally seriously injure and kill him.

I want to tie him to ground and take one of those old non-mechanical push mowers to his fucking, I want his skin to peel of, his muscles and sinew exposed, it want the ground soaked in red and tears and pleas of sorrow that are only true because he is sorry about the consequences of his crime not the act.

You know, I think there might be seriously something broken with me if I feel this strongly about animals being harmed but nowhere near the same for people.

There is another text messaging scandal inside the Casselberry Police Department. After the former chief resigned following a Channel 9 investigation Karla Ray has learned that an officer is accused of sending a text with a racial slur to his supervisor.

The text message, reportedly also sent to three other officers, had a version of the N-word that ends in "a." Ray has been covering the Casselberry Police Department since her reports led to the resignation of former chief Bill McNeil.

Matthew Blunt, the officer at the center of the latest controversy, reportedly sent the message on his personal phone to the city-owned phone of his supervisor Kristine Pamatian.

A Maryland mother was found pushing her dead three-year-old child in a swing at a park Friday morning, according to the Charles County Sheriff's Office.

Officers responded to Wills Memorial Park located at 500 St. Mary's Avenue around 6:55 a.m. for the report of a woman who had been pushing a child in a swing for an unusually long period of time.

The 24-year-old mother and her son may have been at the park since the day before, officials said. When officers got to the park, they found the woman pushing the three-year-old in a swing at the playground. Officers noticed right away that the boy was dead.

There were no signs of trauma, officials said. The child was taken to the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore where an autopsy will be done in order to determine the cause of death.

The mother was taken to the hospital for a medical evaluation, offcials said. The investigation is ongoing.

A case of alleged animal abuse in the far west of New South Wales has led to debate about whether sheep can comprehend human speech.

It began in September last year, when the New South Wales branch of the RSPCA received a tip-off about the alleged mistreatment of sheep, including verbal abuse, that were being shorn at Boorungie Station, 130 kilometres from Broken Hill.

The complaint was lodged by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which had apparently obtained footage and testimony from an undercover operative working at the station.

For Ken Turner, who operates Boorungie Station, the complaint itself suggests the sheep could at least understand English.

"The basis for the concerns was the rights of the animals, that they might have been harassed by viewing things they shouldn't have seen or verbal abuse by people using bad language," he said.

"To my knowledge, there was no actual cruelty on the job.

"The allegation was that bad language was used by an employee on the property in front of the sheep, and that they could have been offended by the use of bad language."

Steve Coleman, CEO of NSW RSPCA, said the war over the words began when it was decided, for reasons that remain unclear, that the video footage was not legally usable.

"We felt the footage was inadmissible and therefore we relied on what oral evidence came from both parties," he said.

"It was conflicting and on that basis we were unable to continue.

"The evidence that was available basically came down to one person's word against another."

While Mr Coleman did not deny that verbal abuse was a factor, he insisted the complaint contained more concerning issues than just bad language.

"Certainly there were other concerns well beyond yelling at sheep," he said.

While describing claims about verbal abuse of animals as "rare", Mr Coleman said the RSPCA took such allegations seriously.

"If there is an allegation that puts at risk an animal that would cause it unnecessary suffering and distress, we would investigate it," he said.

"I don't know if it matters what language is used. An animal is not going to understand it."

But Nicolah Donovan, president of Lawyers for Animals, said animals did understand.

"I think it is conceivable that verbal abuse of an extreme nature against an animal, whether it be human, sheep or otherwise, could constitute an act of violence," she said.

"We have accepted that domestic violence can certainly be constituted by acts of extreme verbal abuse, particularly when the victim of the abuse is especially vulnerable - if they have a low fear threshold or they lack understanding that the verbal abuse isn't going to proceed to a physical threat against them.

"This might be the case with children or farm animals, and the level of abuse needn't be that extreme to cause that kind of fear in an animal."

Lynda Stoner, CEO at Animal Liberation NSW, agreed.

She said animals did not need to understand language in order to comprehend that a human speaker was frustrated or angry.

"I'm not sure all animals can understand different dialects," she said.

"I don't think they're getting the nuances someone is using.

"What they will be getting though is the threat inherent in the way that voice is used.

"I believe they can absolutely comprehend emotion.

"We all know that animals feel pain and suffering, we know animals remember what's been done to them, and we know they can anticipate brutality if it's come before.

"I don't think that's placing human emotions on animals. It's simply that all animals, all species, are capable of feeling pleasure, pain, suffering and all those feelings we feel."

The issue was a topic of some debate at last week's Pastoralist's Association AGM in Broken Hill, where some graziers argued that livestock handling - during mustering, for example - necessarily required a degree of intimidation.

Dean Boyce of the RSPCA, who was addressing the meeting, also voiced a concern that many of the 15,000 complaints received by his organisation each year amounted to concerns that were "petty".

But Ms Stoner argued that, far from excusing bad language and behaviour, the challenges posed by livestock handling required workers who were level-headed and compassionate.

She said that, as in the field of surgery, where bad language might be seen as a sign of dangerous frustration levels, the fields of farming required individuals who could keep a cool head.

"There are ways with working with animals that don't require screaming, shouting and just losing it completely," she said.

"Someone who needs to resort to constant bad language, constant screaming and shouting … there is something inherently flawed in a person like that.

"That person has issues whereby they need to dominate and they can't step back from what kind of person they are.

"They need to step back and see there's another way of doing things."

The case against Boorungie Station has been formally dropped.

In a statement to ABC Rural, PETA said "if foul language were the worst that sheep in Australian shearing sheds had to endure, then no complaint would have been filed".

As for Ken Turner at Boorungie Station, the experience has been an eye opener, but he is not about to watch his words in future.

"It made me ask a lot of questions of myself about what we're allowed to do and not allowed to do," he said.

A former Chinese elementary school teacher has been executed for molesting or raping 26 students, some as young as 4, in a case underscoring the vulnerability of rural children left behind by parents seeking jobs in cities.

The intermediate People’s Court in the impoverished western province of Gansu said it carried out the sentence against Li Jishun on Thursday after it was upheld by the nation’s Supreme People’s Court. Li committed his assaults in the classroom, dormitories and surrounding forest areas in 2011-2012.

In its ruling, the Supreme Court said all of Li’s victims were girls younger than 12 who attended his village boarding school and “were his responsibility to educate and protect.”

“However, he took advantage of his status as teacher to repeatedly rape and molest the young girls, concealing his crimes and making it more difficult for his victims to resist and expose him,” the ruling said.

The ruling said many of the girls had been left by parents working in cities, a group of children seen as particularly prone to physical and psychological abuse and who often grow up lonely and emotionally scarred. Such children are often left in the care of grandparents or placed in boarding schools where they are looked after by teachers.

While China’s wealthy cities produce some of the world’s highest achievers in math and science, village schools are usually badly underfunded and most students leave after the mandatory nine years of education or earlier.

Tanzania’s federal government has been forced to issue a warning to politicians competing in the October elections not to engage in witchcraft in an attempt to improve their odds of winning, reminding candidates that witchcraft was banned nationally in January and any attacks on people with albinism–whose bodies are used in good luck potions–will be prosecuted.

“I want to assure my fellow politicians that there won’t be any parliamentary seat that will be won as a result of using albino body parts,” Deputy Home Affairs Minister Pereira Silima warned politicians last week, noting that the number of attacks on albino people have tended to increase during election season in the past decade. Witch doctors will pay up to $75,000 for a full set of albino body parts, which they later cook into potions and sell at high prices. The demand has led to a black market industry in which individuals try to kill–or at least hack off the limbs of–albinos in their neighborhoods and sell whatever body part they can hack away at a high price.

Estimates place the albino population of Tanzania at around 30,000, one of the world’s highest. The UN estimates that more than 70 albinos have been killed since 2000 to be used in witchcraft potions, and many more survive attacks in which they lose arms or legs. Before Tanzania banned witchcraft in January, only ten people had been convicted for attacks on albinos, and activists have attributed this to belief in witchcraft being most prevalent among Tanzania’s wealthiest and most connected.

Tanzania’s Mail and Guardian reports that many are also not prosecuted because their immediate family members participate in the killings, hoping to make money off their albino relative. Tanzanian Albino Society coordinator Severin Edward explained:

Even last year the numbers might have been higher because these crimes are very intimate. Mostly, a close family member, even a father, is involved in the killings and abductions. In such cases silence wins; his wife will probably be an accomplice in the crime. Nothing will be said of the matter again and the police will have no chance of prosecuting anyone.

Since Tanzania banned witchcraft in January, 17 people, mostly convicted witch doctors, have been sentenced to death for attacks on albinos. But, as the Daily Mail notes, buyers of albino body parts have never been prosecuted–only the sellers. Police have been ordered to shoot anyone attacking albinos, and the Tanzanian government has reportedly encouraged citizens to kill those found with albino body parts. This leaves the politicians looking for a campaign boost free to navigate the black market.
The encouragement to kill, however, has led to a witch hunt against women believed, but never proven, to have made potions out of albino people. Given that the unrest occurs largely within poorer communities, poorer, rural women are targeted as witches; and so far, mobs have killed more than 1,000 between February 2014-2015, according to the Center for Advocacy in Rural Development. Most have been hacked or stoned to death, attacked with rudimentary weapons in retaliation for the wave of albino assaults.

CAPE CORAL, FL --
A man in Florida is facing charges for dancing on top of a sheriff's office vehicle, then ripping off one of the windshield wiper blades, reports television station WZVN.

The bizarre scene was captured on video last month in Cape Coral. And the explanation was just as odd.

According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office, Christian Radecki, 40, the man seen in the video, got on top of the deputy's vehicle and danced to get their attention. He apparently wanted to warn deputies about a ritual sacrifice involving vampires and small children.

A nearby neighbor saw what was happening and called police, but not before Radecki reportedly grabbed an American flag and ran around the house with it.

As for the dance party on the sheriff's office's SUV...

"Gets on top of our Tahoe and starts doing the Icky shuffle or something," said Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott. "He no doubt has the moves like Jagger, but he picked the wrong dance floor."

>"We pay HOA dues to use that pool, so you can't come out here and throw unauthorized events. I do not, however, and I want to strongly stress this, I do not agree with how police officers handled the situation," she said.

>>103451To be fair they probably should have seen that coming. Your local community/homeowner setups take themselves very seriously in the US in my experience.

I remember visiting my aunt and uncle in PA a few years ago. some BBQ and the community pool was on so we all headed down. I was getting huge attention and looks. I saw it kick off out of the corner of my eye when I grabbed a can of coke out of the cooler and a burger from the table.

I was saved by my aunt at the last second as she intercepted nutjob suburbia mom and her pasty short wearing pool security henchmen.

Other people like the guy working the grill and that were nice though and chill about it. Not like I was rowdy or drunk. Helped one guy lift some chairs on the way in so that helped with the guys actually putting it all together, soccer moms control types don't see that kind of thing though, only not one of us criteria haha.

A service dog threw himself in front of a mini school bus to try to protect his blind owner and stayed by her side as emergency responders tended to the injured pair, authorities said.

Both Figo, the golden retriever, and his owner, Audrey Stone, were on the mend Tuesday, a day after the collision with the mini school bus in Brewster.

Police photos of Monday's crash showed fur stuck to the bus' front wheel, according to the Journal News (http://lohud.us/1drjicn ).

"The dog took a lot of the blow," Brewster Police Chief John Del Gardo said. "And he did not want to leave her side. He stood right with her. He was there to save her."

The driver said he didn't see the pair crossing the road. He was given a summons for failing to yield to a pedestrian. The two kindergarteners on the bus weren't injured.

Paul Schwartz, who manages a gas station at the intersection, ran over to help.

"The dog didn't want to leave her side," Schwartz said. "He was flopping over to her, and she didn't want him to get away from her, either. She kept screaming" Figo's name, said Schwartz. "We kept telling her he was fine."

"He let us wrap up his leg without any problem. He wasn't barking or crying or yelping. But he kept pulling toward her," Schwartz said.

The dog wasn't allowed in the ambulance; he was taken to the veterinarian in a fire vehicle. Figo and Stone were both visibly upset by the separation, Schwartz said.

Stone, 62, suffered a broken ankle, elbow and ribs and a head wound and was still hospitalized Tuesday in Danbury, Connecticut, the police chief said.

Figo underwent surgery and has a leg splint. Schwartz said Figo's leg was cut down to the bone. He'll remain at a veterinary hospital until Stone is able to care for him.

The driver was taken off duty while an investigation is conducted. The review will include dashboard cameras in the minibus and another bus that was in the area at the time, according to Steven Moskowitz, Brewster's assistant superintendent for human resources and technology.

> "Racism, we are not cured of it," Obama said. "And it's not just a matter of it not being polite to say nigger in public. That's not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It's not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don't, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior."

>>103833>Societies don't, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.
Not overnight no, it takes about a generation, which is how long it took Asian-Americans to overcome being indentured servants

We've had twenty six generations since the first black indentured servant owned by an Englishman, twenty generations since the first legal slave on the continent, thirteen generations since abolitionism started, eight generations since they were legally emancipated, and four generations since the last state got rid of the last law that could sort of be called racist

A 30-stone motorist who killed a jogger - but claimed she was too fat for prison - has been jailed for two-and-a-half years.

Linda Ann Jenns, 49, knocked down Paul Stinton after jumping a red light in her Ford Kuga in Kent. A jury found her guilty of causing the death of the 45-year-old father of four by dangerous driving.

Her barrister, Ian Bridge, urged a judge not to jail "grossly overweight, morbidly obese" Jenns because she would not be able to cope with life behind bars. But Judge Heather Norton ignored the mitigation and passed a jail sentence at Canterbury Crown Court.

Mr Bridge said Jenns had a stroke seven years ago and was receiving treatment for her weight problem at the time of the crash.

He said she had lost between five and six stone and was hoping for a gastric band to be fitted, which would "increase her life expectancy quite dramatically".

He told the court: "She is grossly overweight, morbidly obese and since the incident has put on even more weight. She is a person for whom a prison sentence would be extraordinarily difficult and I don't think I exaggerate when I say she might not get through it."

Despite using Jenns' weight as mitigation, Mr Bridge told the court on Monday that she had been subjected to "the modern-day equivalent of the stocks".

He said some online reports of the hearing two weeks ago had attracted more than 2,500 comments "many of which were vile".

The barrister claimed that one of Jenns' relatives had to be taken out of school after allegations of bullying after her conviction.

Unusually, Jenns was allowed to enter the crown court through a side door rather than the public entrance after an application from her lawyers.

Mr Bridge said that Jenns, who pleaded not guilty to causing Mr Stinton's death by driving dangerously, was "very, very, very sorry for what happened".

Jenns, of Ashford, Kent, maintained that she had not jumped the red light. She tried to argue that Mr Stinton - whose fiancée Ulrika Wernmark sat in the public gallery - had crossed against a red pedestrian light.

But the judge told her: "Mr Stinton's actions did not contribute significantly to the likelihood of a collision. The collision came about because you drove through a red light. It is that simple."

She added: "You were driving too fast for the wet conditions and you jumped the lights."

Prosecutor Simon Taylor said some witnesses estimated Jenns' speed at up to 70mph, although an expert said she was probably within the 40mph speed limit.

Mr Stinton was flown to hospital by air ambulance with head, chest, neck and abdominal injuries, but died three weeks after the crash in January 2014.

>The police service said the incident is being reviewed and the outcome "will be determined at a later time."

>"The Winnipeg Police Service, the Flight Operations Unit, and the involved members sincerely apologize to all members of the public, especially those who overheard the broadcast," the release states in part.

BBC reports that Chinese authorities seized over 100,000 tons of meat from smugglers in the Hunan province, some dating back to the Carter Administration, as part of a nationwide crackdown on poor food standards. The estimated $438 million worth of flesh—which had been frozen, thawed, and refrozen again during its trek from places like Brazil and India through neighboring countries and into the bellies of unsuspecting consumers—included beef, chick feet, and duck necks.

>According to the two women, who are 17 and 20 years old and remain anonymous, they were pulled over by Sgt. Jesus Menocal, Jr., who told the younger one to hop in the back of his vehicle. Menocal allegedly drove her to a police substation and brought her to a private room, where he asked her a series of obscene questions.

>“[He asked me] how do I have intercourse, and I told him, ‘Why do I need to answer that? Why is that necessary?'” she told WSVN. “He insisted me to answer it, so I told him how me and my partner have intercourse, which is me and my girlfriend. After, he asked if I was a virgin. He asked me, if he was to test me right that moment, if I had any diseases on me.”

>Then, she said, Menocal began rubbing his genitals, and told her she’d be arrested if she didn’t strip. After she took off her shorts, the Sgt. allegedly asked her if she was on her menstrual cycle. “He wanted me to take off my shirt and my bra together, and I told him, ‘No. Why do I have to do that? There’s no reason to do that,'” she said. Menocal allegedly responded, “Oh I thought you wanted to fuck.”

>The teen was released with no charges after fifteen minutes, and she was never told why she was detained. The couple filed a complaint shortly thereafter, and believes the Sgt. may have sexually harassed others as well. Menocal has since been suspended with pay, and an investigation is pending.

>>104130Enterprise had potential but it, like Voyager before it, was where good ideas went to die.

They had an interesting setting, a pre-Feddie ST galaxy during the time of the Romulan War and just after Earth is recovering from the Eugenics Wars of the 90s (you remember that don't you, the trains were a bit late I think) and World War 3 of the 21st century.

But nope, it was pretty shitty exploration that didn't have much drama, didn't have much action, didn't have anything new. Even the old tech that was supposed to be different was the same with different names. Instead of phasers we had phase cannons, instead of shields we had hull plating (which went on and offline exactly the same as shield, HULL PLATING!). Hell this was even before the freaking holodeck but they had to have a holodeck episode in one of the first episodes, the episodes Trip gets knocked up by the asexual alien with the big hooters.

And the characters, holy fuck were they bad. T'Pol was hot but boring and a crackhead later on (but could open her mouth wide enough to give a elephant head so who cares). Trip was okay when he wasn't acting like an idiot. Hoshi was kinda cute but fucking scared of everything. Mayweather had been in space. Phlox was a mass murderer. And Archer was a crazy hobo somebody stuffed in a Starfleet uniform for shits and giggles.

The only character really competent or halfway interesting was Reed and dude barely got any screen time.

The series was boring as all hell until they actually started doing something cohesive late in the 3rd season when Berman and Braga were getting hands off the series. The 4th season was good because it had a new exec producer up until the final episode when B&B came back to shit all over the series by killing a main character, setting in years after the previous episode, and having it all be a holodeck simulation by Will Riker.

A Florida man who portrayed FSU mascot Chief Osceola from 2004-2007 was stabbed to death last week after a dispute about how to properly season gumbo, the New York Daily News reports.

Authorities say 33-year-old Caleb Joshua Halley died on Thursday from injuries he sustained during a fight about the stew’s recipe with co-worker Orlando Thompson. From the Tallahassee Democrat:

According to police reports the two men were arguing over the amount of spice to put into Buddy’s Seafood Market gumbo Tuesday where the two men worked.

Thompson armed himself with a wooden board and Halley with a small wooden knife.

Thompson then retreated and returned with a knife, slashing Halley, causing three lacerations across his torso.

Panama City police later arrested Thompson on manslaughter charges.

According to his obituary, Halley’s Native American heritage “made him so proud to be part of FSU’s dignified depiction of the historical Seminole leader Osceola,” who opens the school’s home football games “by riding to midfield with a burning spear and planting it in the turf.”

People illegally downloading pirated games, movies, and software cost the global economy over $800 billion in 2014, according to research from Arxan.
Arxan reported the figure in its State of Application Security report. The research was conducted over the last three and a half years and saw the group examine more than 50 of the best known piracy sites.

It revealed there were over 1.6 million pirated copies of movies, TV shows, games, and software packages, estimated to be worth more than $800 billion, available for download on the internet in 2014.
Disturbingly, the research suggested the trend will continue in 2015, predicting there will be 1.96 million pirated assets by the end of the year.

Movies and TV were listed as the most pirated assets, with the researchers detecting over one million shows being offered as illegal downloads in 2014.

A 17-year-old girl killed herself after failing to persuade her parents to build a toilet in their house. Khushboo Kumari, a first year BA student in A N College, Dumka, hanged herself at her Gaushala Road home Friday, embarrassed to have to go out to the fields for daily ablutions.

"Khushboo would insist we build a toilet inside the house. We built a boundary wall instead," said the teen's mother Sanjhu Devi, adding, "She'd often go to her grandfather's home nearby to relieve herself." The family owns a pucca four-room house with a courtyard but a toilet was never a priority.

Sripati Yadav, Khushboo's father said he planned to save money for her marriage rather than build a toilet.

The search follows the May arrest of a man hired in 2008 to run Fogle's nonprofit, The Jared Foundation, which through trips to schools and other events encourages children to develop habits of healthy eating and exercise.

Russell Taylor, 43, of Indianapolis, was charged with seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Detectives said Taylor had produced and possessed child pornography involving children — both boys and girls — as young as 9 years old, court documents said.

Two thumb drives found in Taylor's home office appeared to have a link to Fogle or his foundation, according to court records.

One drive, police said, contained "commercially made child pornography from Eastern Europe similar to that seized on other investigations" and "revealed a document file with Taylor's employer listed in the file name."

In the documents, the investigating detective described another drive in which "videos of child pornography and child erotica were recovered as were documents related to his employment as director of a foundation."

> Shawn Hanson said his adrenaline kicked into full gear when he decided to go toe-to-toe with a wild cougar that captured his mini dachshund, Bailey, in order to save the dog's life.

"I see something out of the corner of my eye and a cougar jumped out about 10 to 15 away and just snatched the dog," Hanson of Victoria, British Columbia told ABC News. "It put her paw down and her mouth around her [Bailey's] neck and started dragging her.

That's when Hanson said he ran after the cougar in order to save Bailey's life.

"I just kept pushing the bushes so I could see and dropped down into a muddy, dry creek," he said. "I was able to spring out of the mud and was screaming at it the whole time.”

Without another thought, Hanson said he lunged at the animal, grabbing a handful of her skin.

"I was able to cock back and punch the cougar in the face and it kind of went cross-eyed and just dropped the dog," he said. "My initial thought was that it would start swiping at me, but it sat there sort of dazed.

Two teenage brothers are in police custody on suspicion that they killed their parents and three siblings, ranging in ages from 5 to 12 years old, in their Oklahoma home Wednesday night, police said.

For many, whatever benefit of the doubt remained crumbled Wednesday when the Santa Cruz County District Attorney's Office announced Gonzalez would be prosecuted as an adult for murder, kidnapping and sexual assault, based on allegations he lured his 8-year-old neighbor Madyson "Maddy" Middleton to his family's third-floor apartment Sunday, tied her up, beat, raped and strangled her, then dumped her in a recycling bin in the parking garage downstairs.

Kentucky Man Arrested For Shooting Down £1,100 Drone Hovering Over His House

A man has been arrested in Kentucky after shooting down a camera-equipped drone that was hovering on his property.

Considering the drone’s presence above his property to be an invasion of privacy, William H. Merideth blasted it out of the sky using a shotgun.

Merideth told Ars Technica: "It was hovering, I would never have shot it if it was flying. When he came down with a video camera right over my back deck, that’s not going to work. I know they’re neat little vehicles, but one of those users shouldn’t be flying into people’s yards and videotaping.”

Shortly afterwards, four men reportedly turned up in a car, accusing Merideth of shooting down the drone and ‘looking for a fight’.

While wearing a 10mm Glock handgun in a holster, Merideth reportedly warned the men that there would be another shooting if they stepped onto his property. They subsequently backed down and waited for the police to arrive.

According to the men, the drone was worth £1,150 ($1,800).

Merideth was arrested for first degree criminal mischief and first degree wanton endangerment and released the following day. He says that he is confidant that the charges will either be reduced or dropped completely.

Kentucky law does not require gun owners to register firearms and people do not need a permit to buy them. The only requirement for gun owners in Kentucky is that they are legal US citizens.

A resident using a legally owned firearm to safeguard their own property is unlikely to face conviction.

Merideth claims that he only used ‘Number 8 birdshot’, which he says wouldn’t come down with enough force to cause injury, should anyone have strayed into the firing line.

While the issue of shooting down drones that stray into back gardens is not one that is likely to affect UK drone users, it does raise importance questions over privacy.

The Civil Aviation Authority recently introduced a ‘Dronecode’ to promote responsible use of the small unmanned flying vehicles.

The charters states that drones fitted with cameras should not be flown within 50m of people, vehicles, buildings or structures.

Launched by five green-sweatered, pink-collared dudes with varying degrees of mustache, Okilly Dokilly has taken the Internet by storm with such Flanders-themed tracks such as "Nothing at All" (from Ned's infamous ski suit) and "All That is Left," a nod to Flanders' doomed business selling accessories for southpaws, The Leftorium.

The band members include Head Ned (vocals), Red Ned (keytar), Thread Ned (bass), Stead Ned (guitar), and Bled Ned (drums). The band has released four tracks so far, and they're surprisingly well put-together for a novelty act about a Simpsons side character. Listen to them here. The band's first show is scheduled for September 5 at Trunk Space, and Man-Cat, Hug of War, and Andy Warpigs are slated to join them.

>“The permit process involves a massive invasion of privacy, forcing the applicant to identify his or her closest friends who are then subjected to a criminal record check themselves,” reads the complaint. “The permit process can be expensive, thus preventing many low-income persons from applying for a permit. The permit process can also be time-consuming, constituting a burden not imposed for the exercise of numerous other fundamental constitutional rights.”

They aren't affiliated with any NY 2A groups like SCOPE or NYSRPA so it's almost random that this is coming out.

Thomas Thwaites, a conceptual designer from England, is passionate about how humans could use technology to fulfill desires. So in September 2014, he spent six days at a farm in the Swiss Alps, using technology to realise his dream of living like a goat!

Thwaites designed special prosthetic limbs that allowed him to move on all fours, and even had a fake stomach fitted so he could graze on the open meadows. “My goal was to take a holiday from the pain and worry of being a self-conscious being, able to regret the past and worry about the future,” he said. He wanted to experience being a “nonhuman animal,” which he believed would be a lot “calmer and simpler” without the “existential terror” of everyday life.

Unfortunately, life as a goat wasn’t exactly as carefree as Thwaites expected it to be. He found that it was quite challenging to keep up with his herd which didn’t even accept him at first. “I found myself at nearly the highest point on the hill of the whole herd of goats, and there was this moment where I looked and noticed that all the other goats had stopped chewing and were looking at me,” he told Motherboard. “I hadn’t been scared at all before, but I suddenly became aware of their quite sharp and pointed horns.”

“A particular goat that I’d been hanging out with a lot seemed to have defused the situation. I might just be making human stories in my brain, but that’s what it seemed to me,” he joked.

And there wasn’t enough time to get used to the prosthetics – the artificial limbs placed a lot of weight on his real arms, making downhill travel extremely painful. “I was able to keep up for maybe a kilometer or so on this migration down the side of this kind of rocky mountain, and then they just left me in the dust,” he said. “So I spent the rest of the day trying to catch up to them and eventually I found them again, and it was quite nice, in the actual soft grassy pasture bit.”

“But actually heading down the mountain was petrifying,” he added. “Because if I fell I didn’t have any hands to stop me from hitting a rock.” It was also too cold and rainy for him to spend the nights with the goats outside, so he set up camp with his team each night. But he eventually got used to the routine and ended up traveling three days with the herd and spending three days as a solitary goat.

Some of Thwaites’s previous projects were centered around the future of genetic engineering and a hypothetical god-like service called Nebo. The main goal of his bizarre goat project was to figure out if humans could enhance their physical capabilities using technology in the future. “Posthumanism, transhumanism technology and stuff, is about allowing humans to achieve their desires in a way,” he said. “And I guess desires aren’t necessarily to become super intelligent.”

Thwaites plans to exhibit photos from his project at London’s Studio1.1 Gallery this September. He’s also working on a book based on his experiences, titled Goatman: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human.

If, by any chance, you would also like to experience life as a goat, but have no idea how to build prosthetics like Thomas Thwaites, we recommend a much more comfortable alternative – the Goat Simulator video game.

Jared Fogle, the former Subway spokesman, is expected to plead guilty to possession of child pornography charges, confirms CBS4Indy sources.

Sources say Fogle will accept a plea deal. The U.S. Attorney’s Office will hold a press conference Wednesday afternoon to discuss the deal.

Fogle’s attorney, Ron Elberger, had no comment in regards to the plea deal. He said any information regarding the charges would come from the attorney’s office. Elberger did say Fogle’s suspension with Subway continues.

The charges come after federal agents raided Fogle’s Zionsville home in early July. FBI sources confirmed state and federal investigators were serving warrants at his home in connection with a child pornography investigation. Several computers and DVDs were seized from Fogle’s home.

Earlier this year, Russell Taylor, the former director of the Jared Foundation started by Fogle, was arrested in a child pornography case. He was accused of possessing and producing child pornography. Investigators said a search of Taylor’s home turned up more than 500 videos with images of child pornography. In May, Taylor unsuccessfully tried to kill himself while in jail.

Fogle gained national fame after attributing massive weight loss to eating Subway sandwiches. He was a freshman at Indiana University at the time. He later became a visible presence in Subway ad campaigns, pitching the restaurant’s sandwiches and touting their health benefits.

Subway suspended their relationship with the spokesman shortly after the raid.

>According to Michael Stone at the Progressive Secular Humanist blog, the 19 Kids and Counting family is trying to create a spin-off show that will capitalize on a one-hour TLC special coming on Aug. 30, titled Breaking the Silence.

>TLC said that Breaking the Silence is an attempt by the network to shed light on the issue of child sex abuse and that it will feature appearances by members of the Duggar clan. The special is set to run commercial-free.

>“Over these past weeks, TLC has consulted regularly with leading victims’ rights and advocacy organizations in the U.S., including RAINN and Darkness to Light, to discuss how to use this moment to address the issue and make a positive impact,” said a statement from the network. “Unfortunately, child sexual abuse is not an isolated issue; it affects many children and families around the world. To that end, we are partnering with both organizations on a multi-platform campaign to raise awareness and educate parents and families about the issue. In the first phase of this initiative, TLC will work closely with both groups and with the Duggar family on a one-hour documentary that will include Jill and Jessa and other survivors and families that have been affected by abuse.”

>TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting in spite of its high ratings after it came to light that the Duggars’ eldest son Josh had molested his sisters and another girl as a teen. Rather than turn Josh in to authorities and let him face the consequences, the family handed him over to a clergyman’s care and never sought treatment for their daughters.

>This mishandling of the abuse and the family’s attempts to hide it from the public were more than TLC was willing to countenance and the network wisely canceled the show.

>A source close to the Duggars told Star magazine that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are desperate to keep some form of reality TV revenue coming in to support their outsized brood.

>“The family can’t afford to not have the show — it is their main source of income, and with a family of that size, without it they’re in enormous trouble,” said the family friend. “They know they have to at least pretend to be sorry about what happened, and now they want a spin-off where Jim Bob and Michelle would give advice to abuse victims—even though they’re in denial about their culpability in Josh’s crimes.”

>Earlier this summer, the couple did a disastrous interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, which was widely panned by viewers, who felt that the family were still enabling their sexual predator son.

>“After the Megyn Kelly interview, when they basically made excuses for Josh, they’re done,” said Star’s source. “It was a disastrous move that ruined their brand. It would take a miracle to get them back on TV.”

>"I don't know much about tiger logistics, but we were told to be this huge blue tarp monster with the weedwhacker and try to be scary and make loud noises. That just made him angry. You could say he got tiger rage, so we retreated."

>First, they hacked him with a machete. Then, they buried him alive out in the forest.
>And to celebrate the crime, two of his attackers then had sex beside the shallow grave, where he was still breathing.
>This horrific crime, committed by four students against their fellow classmate, has shocked the US state of Florida.

>He hung the fawn on the fence, using ties, and also mounted signs reading “Killed by off-leash dog.”

>Stauduhar said his wife, Tara, wrote to the city’s animal control officer, their councilwoman, Susan Wengraf, and the city attorney to describe what had taken place. As of about 1:15 p.m. Friday, no one had responded.

>Stauduhar said he went, at about noon, to see if the city had picked up the fawn. It was still there, but its location had changed.

>“I found that someone had taken down the signs and placed them in the trash, and cut the fawn down, left to rot on the lawn,” he wrote. “Apparently the killing of the creature did not offend, but the assignation of blame did. I fail to understand the mind of a person who would place signs in the trash and then not give a second thought to the corpse. I extracted the signs from the trash and re-posted them.”

>>105693Why the fuck do people call them showers? They are misters simple as that. You dont get naked infront of those things and wash one's self off with them. They are meant to keep you and the air surrounding cooler. They do not soak you and the last thing they do is actually wash you off.

>>105704>>105733In WI, people call a drinking fountain a "bubbler". Often, one would be "corrected" if they refer to it as a drinking fountain. It supposedly has something to do with Kohler, being located in Kohler, WI, making some goofy-ass model of drinking fountain made back in God-knows-when so that's why Wisconsinites can't words right dere doncha know dere, hey?

I tried finding a pic of one online but it's surprisingly hard to do. They looked sort of like the "Bensen bubblers" in Portland. Many of the original WI "bubblers" have had their spigots replaced with more modern designs, that actually allow you to drink without contorting your back, neck and face all around and putting your mouth all over the damn thing and because the ridiculously hard water eats away or builds up and ruins everything over time.

>Cramblett, said she loves her three-year-old daughter. But she said that she was raised around stereotypical attitudes toward minorities and that she has “limited cultural competency” with African Americans.

>Sutter ruled Thursday that Cramblett’s lawsuit couldn’t proceed under either of those standards.

>Bob Summers, an attorney for the sperm bank, argued that Cramblett’s claim of “wrongful birth” could not be legally sustained in a case where a healthy child was born. “Wrongful birth” cases are meant to address cases where medical testing was negligent and failed to show risks of congenital or hereditary disorders to a child before birth, he said.

>Sutter agreed with Summers and dismissed the “wrongful birth” claim, and then he dismissed Cramblett’s claim that the sperm bank’s error amounted to a “breach of warranty” under a state law covering blood and tissue donations.

>But she claims she eventually discovered it was in fact her friend, Gayle Newland, 25, who had persuaded her to wear a blindfold throughout their sexual encounters in which a prosthetic penis was used, the Press Association reports.

>Newland, of Hooton Road, Willaston, is on trial at Chester Crown Court where she denies five counts of sexual assault between February and June 2013.

>The court heard the alleged victim received a Facebook friend request in 2011 from a Kye Fortune who purported to be a half-Filipino, half-Latino athletic young male.

>They communicated online and "Kye" later told her he had been involved in a car accident and medics had found he had a brain tumour.

>He said he was having treatment in hospital and was not well enough to see her but the pair spoke frequently on the phone and became engaged before they finally decided to meet up, it is alleged.

>Giving evidence, the complainant, who cannot be named, recalled they met up at hotels in Chester and at her flat but at all times she was made to wear a makeshift blindfold because of Kye's insecurities.

>She agreed with Nigel Power QC, representing Newland, that they spent at least 100 hours in each other's company before she said she "ripped off" her blindfold and discovered she had been sleeping with a woman.

>>105958It's not weird to want kids who look like you or share your background.

It IS weird to be so dedicated to not having a kid of a different ethnicity that you're going to plan your life around it. It is weird to think that having a child who is the same as you is automatically better than having a child who looks different but is still your fucking child.

Not to mention the higher instances of psychological disorders and risk-taking/antisocial behaviour as adolescents, where bi-racial kids are higher by quite a margin than any group of monoracial kids.

The hybrid vigor myth is just that in humans, a myth.
It's actually based on the fact that the probability of passing on a genetic defect present in one or more of the parents can be very slightly reduced by inter-ETHNIC coupling (and NOT interracial). I.e. British-Swedish, Japanese-Chinese, West-Bantu - North-Bantu.

But interracial couplings actually produce a higher number of genetic defects along with an increase in probability of a variety of other medical problems as stated above.
You see, the children will not have a smooth blend of characteristics from each parent, but the characteristics will each separate out into their individual racial components forming a patchwork of features in the offspring. This is true for all hybrids, even ones produced from breeds of the same species, and is why plant breeders do not generally create seed from F1 hybrids. This is also why the kids do not look like either of their parents.

Putting it into perspective; a homogenous ethnic family next door, genetically has more in common with the parent, than the parent does with their own offspring.
To further illustrate the point I will give you an example; mixed race kids usually can't accept an organ transplant from either parent or a family member due to incompatibility.

So yes, before you blanda upp there a certainly some considerations that need to be taking into account.

tl;dr avoid admixing between the sub-species like the plague
(not just for yourself but for biological diversity of human kind as a whole, something that will greatly increase our chance for survival in the longterm)

>>106000>(not just for yourself but for biological diversity of human kind as a whole, something that will greatly increase our chance for survival in the longterm)

The guy who responded to you already provided a link, so I'll just address this:

How the fuck do you think racial mixing reduces the "biological diversity of human kind as a whole?" How is that logical? Do you think interracial mixing means everyone is going to fuck the same five dudes?

Here's the thing: people just plain care less and less about this now. It's getting less and less controversial to date outside your race. People plain just don't care.

I think you're scared white people are dying out or something? My mom's white. I'm just as much biologically hers as I would be if my dad were white too. Hell I look more like her than him aside from skin tone.

The future is going to involve a bunch of half-white people fucking and having kids with each other, along with every single other possible configuration of human beings creating families. Maybe that'll create a world where this shit matters less, or at least change where the lines are. It's not scary. It'll be fine.

>>106040You're the one that brought up homozygous recessive disorders as an argument against ethnic homogeneity. Literally pants-on-head retarded.
We're not talking about dog breeds that have been inbred for many generations by way of father/daughter, brother/sister couplings. These are whole human populations we're talking about.
But hey at least you'll always have solid gold incest and stormfront insults to fall back on.

>>106027I dismissed your post before due to lack of time, apologies, so here you go;

>How the fuck do you think racial mixing reduces the "biological diversity of human kind as a whole?"
It reduces genetic distinctiveness in populations.
Look up any number of studies on extinction by introgression and hybridization in nature as well as Mendelian inheritance etc.

>Here's the thing: people just plain care less and less about this now. It's getting less and less controversial to date outside your race. People plain just don't care.
Good for them. People should do what they want, as long as they're informed.
We're not talking about social attitudes, and what's taboo and what's not. It's about the genetic health and diversity of the different people on this planet.
This may sound like sci-fi pie in the sky shit, but if in 5000 years there is only one mulatto race than that would be a bad thing. It would be like putting all your eggs in one basket. Distinctive, separate ethnicities or races is a great strength for human beings as a whole.

>I think you're scared white people are dying out or something?
I'm not at all. Not in the short-term at least. And my concern is not focused on Caucasians exclusively.

>My mom's white. I'm just as much biologically hers as I would be if my dad were white too. Hell I look more like her than him aside from skin tone.
I have no idea what your ethnic background is, but if your father is not Caucasian, hell if he's not the same ethnicity as your mother, then actually no you're not just "white" as your mother. Whether these differences are expressed in the phenotype or not, you're half your father's child. As evidenced by your skin-tone. Genes aren't just there to determine how a person should look. It regulates everything that is inborn.

Agreed. Willingly allowing a population to be at higher risks of diseases, all in the name of lol purity is fucking stupid.

Speaking of retarded...

>It reduces genetic distinctiveness in populations.

While increasing their genetic diversity. Ever notice the Finns have almost no cystic fibrosis? Yeah, they have a different oddball genetic condition they get at a low rate, but there's several dozen other things they almost never see which their neighbors very much do.

>>106065>Agreed. Willingly allowing a population to be at higher risks of diseases, all in the name of lol purity is fucking stupid.

the ride never ends. neither does the spouting of confabulated "facts". how only did European populations (or any other population for that matter?) survive without the influx of sub saharan or middle eastern "blood" to rid them of their deleterious "homozygous recessive disorders" which are said to not be present there, for some magical reason?

Incidentally, the middle east and Africa are the most inbred regions in the world (by anyone's metric).

letting people like you vote is a crime against humanity. you are basically a creationist.

It's a purely mathematical construct that exists only in a vacuum. It is handy as an equation to establish a baseline, but as any basic course in the matter will tell you... that's all it is. If you ignore everything else (like you're doing), it's completely useless as a stand-alone.

What's funnier is if you actually understood the basis of the equation AND how it does and doesn't apply to the real world... you'd already know the math will tell you a diverse genetic population is far FAR fucking more resistant to genetic disorders.

But whatever, enjoy your 1920s level of stupidity instead I guess. Maybe you should go vist a phrenologist and have him tell you you're really the master race and not the amalgam of dozens of different groups.

Wut? That's not really how hypnotism works as far as I know. Sounds like out of the 75 people who he hypnotised, many of which were stressed or whatever, a few killed themselves at various times. I mean it is probably in line with the average likelihood...

A Manhattan human resources manager is suing her 12-year-old nephew for leaping into her arms when he welcomed her to his eighth birthday party.

The aunt, Jennifer Connell, claims her nephew acted unreasonably when his exuberant greeting caused her to fall and break her wrist in 2011, the Westport News reported from the courthouse on Monday.

She is seeking $127,000 in damages from the boy, whose mother died last year. Westport News also reported that the 12-year-old appeared confused as he sat in the courtroom with his father. Connell reportedly testified that she loves her nephew, whom she described as always being “very loving, sensitive” toward her.

>>106983>Of the damage done, Connell testified that she did not complain at the time, but she said her life had been “very difficult” since the injury because of “how crowded it is in Manhattan”. “I was at a party recently, and it was difficult to hold my hors d’oeuvre plate,” she reportedly said.

(See video below.)

>After a video of Ricks's appearance with VITAL REMAINS was sent to Police Chief Cecil B. Smith on Tuesday, Smith notified the Professional Standard Section and removed Ricks's authority to perform his law enforcement duties.

I think announcing his disciplinary action to the media brings more attention to this incident than it warrants.

Former Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw was just found guilty of rape and sexual battery on Thursday. Now, his sentence has been handed down, and he is coming to the harsh realization that being a police officer didn’t save him from the 263 year sentence that a jury just handed down to him.

Prosecutors said that Officer Holtzclaw preyed on women were know to police for having had run-ins with the department in the past. He then told them that if they were to report him, he would have them arrested on charges related to their past.

But Holtzclaw, 29, wasn’t feeling so aggressive on Thursday, when broke down in tears upon hearing the reading of the verdict.

He was convicted of raping 13 women, but was cleared of about half of the total 36 counts against him. He has not had his sentencing set for January, which could likely see him serving the massive sentence as what would amount to life in prison.

Last March in Albuquerque, NM, a group of black males asked a smaller group of white skateboarders to borrow a skateboard at a skatepark. The whites generously offered to share a skateboard. However, when the whites wanted the skateboard back, they were brutally attacked instead.

Jaquise Lewis, a 17 year old black male, then opened fire hitting multiple victims. One of those victims was left paralyzed from the waist down. A victim pulled his own gun and shot Lewis, killing him.

The local media ran completely fake new segments aggressively portraying Lewis as the innocent victim of a racially motivated white on black hate crime.

In fact, Lewis was on house arrest for shooting another person in the butt just days earlier. On March 1st, Lewis shot a 14 year old friend in the butt, supposedly by accident. He was not supposed to leave his house the night he was killed. The media systematically painted a completely false picture of Lewis. The media also claimed that a memorial for Lewis had been torched. Police believe this is also a hoax.

Now the truth has come out. Police have ruled that the shooting was justifiable self-defense. Police say the white victims have all cooperated, while many of the black perpetrators are still unidentified and at large.

So eight weeks later, we learn from police that a story reported as a white on black hate crime, was actually a black on white hate crime. One of the white victims was left crippled. As far as we can tell, he has never been profiled by the local media. Not one segment.

>A truck was carrying 30 tons (27 metric tons) of the treat when it somehow caught fire in the tunnel. The driver abandoned the truck after realizing the blaze was out of control, according to the BBC.

>But how exactly does cheese burn? Like most foods high in fats and oils — cooking oil, bacon, peanut brittle — cheese is combustible if it gets hot enough. And again, this was no ordinary cheese. Brunost is up to 30 percent fat and contains more sugar than most cheeses. Both fat and sugar are combustible and can fuel a fire.

>Police officer Viggo Berg told the BBC the high concentration of fat and sugar in the brunost cheese makes it burn "almost like petrol if it gets hot enough."

>Most fires involving cooking oils or fats burn hotter than fires caused by flammable liquids, and they cannot be suppressed with water or an ordinary fire extinguisher. A Class K fire extinguisher is necessary for controlling these kinds of fires, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which is why Class K extinguishers, which emit a fine chemical mist, are often found in commercial kitchens.

MIAMI (AP) - A South Florida man has been indicted on first-degree murder charges after authorities say he shot someone during a dispute over a dog defecating in a yard.

A grand jury indicted Omar Rodriguez on Wednesday after Miami-Dade police say he fired two shots at Jose Rey for allegedly letting his dog defecate on Rodriguez’ son’s lawn. Rey died of his injuries late last month.

Rodriguez’s attorney, Alan Ross, says Rey started the argument and came after Rodriguez with a knife.

The Miami Herald (http://tinyurl.com/o2d3pq4) reports the shooting was the culmination of years of stalking, threats and false allegations lobbed by Rodriguez against various residents. Rodriguez has been arrested several times, but never served serious jail time.

Neighbors have filed more than 140 complaints with police about Rodriguez since 2008. Rodriguez has also filed numerous hand-written lawsuits against neighbors and police.

>A senior prison official has been detained in Russia accused of stealing a 50km (31-mile) length of highway.

>Police said Alexander Protopopov, acting deputy chief of Russia's prison service, oversaw the dismantling of the road in the far-northern Komi region. He then sold off its 7,000 reinforced concrete slabs for personal profit, they added.

>Officials believe the scheme cost the government more than 6m roubles ($79,000; £54,000). The road was "dismantled and driven away" over the period of more than a year, between 2014 and 2015, the Investigative Committee said in a statement quoted by the AFP news agency.

>The concrete slabs were then used by a commercial company which also sold them on for a profit, it added.

>Mr Protopopov was the head of Komi region's prison service from 2010 to 2015, and won awards such as a medal for creating "spiritual unity", AFP reports. He was arrested on Wednesday and faces charges of misappropriating of state property while using his official position, which could lead to 10 years in jail, the agency adds.

>Another prison service official, the head of a penal colony and a businessman are also under investigation.

>Komi Republic is a huge region in Russia's far north, much of it forested. It has significant natural resources, including oil, gas and timber.

>Road construction is one of the most corrupt sectors in Russia, with costs much higher than on comparable projects in other countries, AFP reports.

Authorities upgraded charges lodged against 57-year-old Donald B. Meyer on Thursday. Meyers is now charged with criminal homicide, involuntary manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault, simple assault, persons not to possess firearms under provisions of the Mental Health Procedures Act, terroristic threats, endangering the welfare of children and reckless endangerment. Meyer’s remains in Perry County Prison without bail.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred on January 11 at Meyer’s home in Penn Township.

Constable Clarke Steele, who has served in Perry and Dauphin counties for the past six years, was enforcing an eviction order at the home of 57-year-old Donald Meyer and his family.

Police say after a verbal dispute, Meyer pointed a loaded rifle at Steele.

Steele shot Meyer in the arm, but the bullet went through and struck Ciara, Meyer’s 12-year-old daughter, who was standing directly behind him, police said.

>The newly elected chair of the Republican Party in the county that includes the Texas Capitol spent most of election night tweeting about former Gov. Rick Perry’s sexual orientation and former President Bill Clinton’s penis, and insisting that members of the Bush family should be in jail. He also found time to call Hillary Clinton an “angry bull dyke” and accuse his county vice chair of betraying the values of the Republican Party.

>“The people have spoken,” Robert Morrow, who won the helm of the Travis County GOP with 54 percent of the vote, told The Texas Tribune. “My friends and neighbors and political supporters — they wanted Robert Morrow.” Morrow’s election as Republican chair of the fifth-largest county in Texas left several members of the Travis County GOP, including vice chair Matt Mackowiak, apoplectic.
>Mackowiak, a Republican strategist, immediately announced over social media that he would do everything in his power to remove Morrow from office. “We will explore every single option that exists, whether it be persuading him to resign, trying to force him to resign, constraining his power, removing his ability to spend money or resisting any attempt for him to access data or our social media account,” Mackowiak told the Tribune. “I’m treating this as a coup and as a hostile takeover.”
>“Tell them they can go fuck themselves,” Morrow told the Tribune.

>Jared Fogle is just barely three months into a nearly 16-year jail sentence for child pornography and having sex with underage prostitutes, and the former Subway spokesperson has already gained 30 pounds, In Touch has exclusively learned.

>Jared — a man who famously lost more than 200 pounds by eating at Subway — has crossed the wrong people in prison and his only comfort has been found in food.

>“He’s really started packing on the pounds again, probably from depression,” the prison insider, who estimates Jared to have gained 30 pounds already, says.

>“Jared’s breakfast is usually Frosted Flakes with fruit or oatmeal with cake. He loves ‘cake day’ in the dining hall twice a week and he buys Honey Buns by the box, as well as other pastries, in the commissary on his weekly shopping day,” adds the insider. "He’s been known to eat an entire box of eight at one sitting!”

>“Jared is regularly taunted by those who have it out for him,” the prison insider states.

>“One of the men called Jared a ‘dirty child rapist’ and told him to ‘get the f--k out’ and not come back,” a recently released inmate from Colorado’s Federal Correctional Institution — Englewood exclusively reveals.

>The disgraced former Subway pitchman then made the mistake of opening his mouth to defend himself.

>“The inmate slapped him across the cheeks several times and made his face red. Jared just stood there stunned, then ran out of the gym,” while inmates booed and called him by his prison nickname — “Chomo,” which is short for child molester — as well as another choice derogatory term for a coward. “He never ratted out the inmates who did it, though, because he was threatened that if he did, they would get him!”

>Police have begun an investigation after footage emerged of a Catholic priest caught on video snorting what appeared to be cocaine.

>Fr Stephen Crossan is reported to have snorted coke through a £10 note during a night of drinking in July 2015 in Banbridge, County Down.

>He was in a room containing Nazi memorabilia, and seemed to say "I shouldn't" as he snorted, the Sun on Sunday reported.

>He has taken leave from the priesthood.

>A spokesperson for the PSNI said: "Police are aware of the article in a Sunday newspaper and are making inquiries."

>The bishop of Dromore said in a statement that he had no knowledge of the incident.

>It allegedly occurred in the parochial house last July after a party.

>The Sun on Sunday said it happened at what was then Fr Crossan's parish home in the grounds of St Patrick's Church, Banbridge, in July 2015.

>Father Crossan told the newspaper that he took the drugs but said: "It was just the one night and that was it."

>A source said that a group went to Fr Crossan's home after a party and found Nazi memorabilia including flags, hats and an eagle with a swastika on a plinth on his mantelpiece.

>In his defence, Fr Crossan told the paper that he was not a Nazi and that he collected historical items from every country.

>He said he had been on sick leave with depression at the time of the video and that he had since left the Church but was being backed by the parish.

>In his statement, Bishop of Dromore John McAreavey said that Fr Crossan had asked for and been granted leave from his pastoral duties at Seapatrick parish in May 2015. He said he had been receiving counselling and was considering his future.

>At the start of February 2016, the statement said that the priest had asked for an extended leave of absence from the priesthood.

>Two Canadian anti-vaxx parents have been accused of letting their 19-month-old son die of meningitis, a treatable disease for which they refused medical care and antibiotics. Instead, they tried and failed to heal their son with home remedies in March 2012.

>David and Collet Stephan tried to cure a disease that infects the fluid around the spinal cord and brain with such treatments as olive leaf extract, whey protein, water with maple syrup, and juice with frozen berries. After young Ezekiel continued to suffer for two weeks, the Stephans changed treatments to apple cider vinegar, horseradish root, hot peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger root.

>When Ezekial stopped breathing, the child was finally airlifted to a hospital, but the damage had been done. After lingering on life support for five more days, he died.

>The couple is claiming that they are being unjustly persecuted, with a recent social media post from David Stephan dramatically lamenting “Will we ever be free?” before asking his followers for money. They are pleading not guilty on all charges.

>The Stephans own and operate a famously fraudulent nutritional supplement company called Truehope, which has been sued by Health Canada for peddling dangerous supplements.

>Truehope claims that their supplement EMPowerPlus, which is actually nothing more than a mixture of vitamins and minerals, can treat conditions and symptoms related to “Autism, ADD, ADHD, Stress Depression, Fatigue and Anxiety,” according to their marketing information.

>However, actual experts in Health Canada said the supplement actually contributed to the “worsening of psychiatric symptoms in those patients with serious underlying mental health problems, such as bipolar disorder and depression.”

>The rise of the anti-vaccination movement has triggered a boom of formerly eradicated illnesses, according to Healthline. Outbreaks of measles, polio, and whooping cough often crop up among the unvaccinated, and they are claiming American lives for the first time in decades. Much of the anti-vaxx hysteria erupted from a claim that vaccinations can cause autism in children, a claim that has never been scientifically proven.

>If convicted, the Stephans could receive up to five years in jail and lose custody of their remaining children.

>“Kellogg takes this situation very seriously and is shocked and outraged by this video. We have alerted law enforcement authorities and regulators, and are conducting a thorough investigation,” Charles said, in a statement.

>“Our investigation so far revealed that the video was recorded in 2014 or earlier. We will share more information as we learn more.”

>Her bond was set at $15,000 by 52-3 District Magistrate Nick Camargo during arraignment Thursday.

>Investigators said Perkins was attempting to leave the Rochester Road Meijer with more than $600 worth of stolen electronic merchandise when her cart got stuck and she was unable to drive out the door.

>The door alarm was activated when Perkins passed through it around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday, and Meijer employees approached her asking for a receipt for the items.

>Perkins -- approximately 5 foot 2 and 400 pounds -- shoved a loss prevention officer and hit her in the face, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

>A sheriff's deputy arrived and asked Perkins to put her hands behind her back, but she "cursed at the deputy, balled her right hand into a fist and took a fighting stance," according to a press release from the Sheriff's Office.

>The deputy pulled his Taser and told Perkins to put her hands behind her back, but Perkins brought her fist up over her head and looked directly at the deputy.

>The deputy Tasered Perkins, who then complied with the deputy's commands and was taken to jail.

>Charlton police said a black SUV with two or three men in their late teens or early 20s inside, pulled up to three young teenage boys on Dresser Hill Road at about 3 p.m. on Saturday.

>One of the men -- described as having brown hair and a pale complexion, wearing a gray T-shirt, gray pants and open-toed sandals -- got out of the vehicle and started rapping while the other men asked the boys if they wanted to "spit some bars" with them.

>When the boys declined, the SUV drove off.

>"Although this was suspicious behavior and frightening to the boys, nothing made this appear to be an attempted abduction," Charlton police posted on Facebook.

By his own account, the 18-year-old Floridian “has a job and money,” but still likes to burglarize cars as a way to ease his boredom.

Master Eulett was arrested early yesterday in connection with a recent series of thefts from autos parked in Palm Harbor, a community on the state’s west coast. During police questioning, Eulett reportedly copped to the 2 AM burglaries, saying that he and four friends drove around looking for “unlocked vehicles to get money.”

Eulett also felt the need to say that he “has no remorse,” according to an arrest affidavit. Additionally, the teen noted that he “has a job and money and just does this because he is bored,” according to cops.

Eulett made sure to add that, “These people got what they deserve,” apparently for leaving their vehicles unlocked.

Eulett was charged with auto theft and four counts of burglary. He is locked up in lieu of $45,000 bond on the five felony charges.

While court records offer no information on Eulett’s “job and money,” the teenager does have $164.16 in his jail commissary account.

>A backpack left in a bathroom was giving off "cough inducing fumes" on March 18, according to the Seattle Police Department. That prompted a call to 911. After responding to the scene, fire crews called in a hazmat team to handle the noxious fumes.

>After the church building was evacuated, and a neighboring daycare, and the surrounding streets were blocked off, the team ventured into the fume-filled bathroom.

>It didn't take long, however, for the team to identify the source of the offending vapors. The can of Axe body spray was found to be malfunctioning and continuously giving off the fumes.

On Friday, Imani Cezanne, a poet and activist, was set to fly to Atlanta on American Airlines. Instead, she found herself banned from the airline after being forcibly removed from the plane for extremely dubious reasons. Cezanne recounted her experience of “flying while black” in a series of tweets that have to be read to be believed.

>Officers ordered Davis to lay on the ground. He did so while hugging the dog. Davis reportedly told officers, “Y’all gonna have to kill us” before getting up and running away.

>An officer fired a stun at Davis, temporarily knocking him back to the ground. Davis reportedly got up and ran again. As officers pursued, Davis released the dog from its leash and yelled, “Kill ’em boy, kill ’em,” while pointing at the officers, the report said.

>Davis’ pit bull bit him in the buttocks and tried to bite his head before Davis ran and hid in a nearby apartment complex.

Most of the civilians escaped but an elderly couple refused to leave their house, and they got killed by the Azeris. Also a Yazidi-Armenian soldier who went back for them got killed, and the dumbass Azeris displayed his head all over social media.

What the Azeris don't know is the Turks are cucks, the Iranians are vascillating, and ISIS is about to get curbstomped.

>A hand grenade exploded inside courtroom in Karachi’s Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) after a judge asked a police constable if he knew how grenades worked. The constable, instead of explaining his expertise in weapons and grenade handling to the judge, opted to demonstrate practically by promptly pulling out the pin from the grenade.

>This resulted in a loud explosion, injuring three including the constable and a court clerk.

>A two-week-long investigation into the missing Galago primate and Girl Scout cookie money from the Zany Zoo Pet Store eventually led Eugene police detectives to a prostitute at a hotel who was in possession of the animal. She told authorities she received it as a tip from a client.

>The unnamed out-of-town prostitute identified the client as Nathan McClain, who owned Zany Zoo, where the money, the mammal and a laptop went missing from, the Eugene Police Department said in a statement.

>Police say the thefts were reported on March 1 and March 6, but did not say who called in the burglaries. The amount of the Girl Scout cookie money was not disclosed.

>The prostitute, who was found with the primate on March 17, was cooperative with detectives and turned over the exotic animal, police said. Exotic animals are illegal to possess in Oregon without a license from the state Department of Agriculture.

>Two days later, Oregon State Police arrested McClain in one of their office building parking lots for driving under the influence of a controlled substance, according to Eugene police.

>"McClain was observed exiting the adult porn shop next door and he appeared to be under the influence of methamphetamine," the police said.

>Deputies arrived on scene after Crowe allegedly jumped into the ring during the show and pulled a handgun on Lee.

>According to Lee and several witnesses, Lee was participating in a match with “Iron Mann,” at which time he tied him up and was hitting him with a chair, reports show.

>“I had him tied up and was beating on him, and this lady jumps up with a knife, cuts him loose, and then pulled a loaded gun on me,” Lee said. “She had that thing loaded with one in the chamber and the safety off. All it would have taken was for her to get shaky with that thing and it could have fired.”

>Crowe also pointed the gun at the show’s commissioner “Robbie Rude,” reports show.

>Lee says the woman has been to shows before and should have known that the incident going on with the other wrestler was part of the show.

>“She’s been to several shows over the years off and on, but she was acting like a nut Saturday night,” Lee said.

>Lee, whose character is a “heel” or “bad guy,” often banters back and forth with spectators as part of the show, but it rarely turns physical.

>“We’ve done fraternity shows at colleges and stuff before where drunk college kids will try to run into the ring or something, but nothing like this,” Lee said. “In about 1992, at another location, we were doing a show and I got stabbed by about a six-inch blade by a fan. Fans usually don’t get involved though, they usually just watch.”

>According to police Cpl. Chris Faulk, Crowe admitted she pulled the gun on Lee because of the banter the two had engaged in.

>“Ms. Crowe did indeed pull the gun on Mr. Lee because of the way he’d talked to her,” Faulk said. “She said, ‘he was talking mean to me, and I got mad. I guess I just let my temper get the best of me and I pulled my pistol on him’.”

>Lee says he told Crowe “to sit her toothless self back down,” and that she then approached the ring.

>Lee added that he’s not thrilled with Crowe being released so soon.

>“The sheriff’s office called me to let me know they let her out Monday on a $4,000 bond,” Lee said. “I think it should have been a higher bond than that. She pulled a gun on me in front of kids and everything….it was just crazy.”

>Approximately 160 people were in attendance during the incident, which has prompted Lee and the AWF to revaluate their security measures at the arena.

>“We’re going to be installing metal detectors at the entrances,” Lee said. “We’ve already got ‘em picked up and will have them installed before the next show. The way the world is today, things happen at movie theatres and malls….you have to take extreme measures to protect fans. We’ll have the metal detectors right at the doors when you come in.”

>>111782The progressive is defined as someone who wishes to progress, to move forward. In order for this to happen they need to change what already exists, for example their country/culture. The common thread that unites all progressives is a destruction of everything they are surrounded with.

If they live in Iran, the progressive will want to destroy Iran.
If they live in America, the progressive will want to destroy America.
If they live in Japan, the progressive will want to destroy Japan.
If they live in Sweden, the progressive will want to destroy Sweden.

This is also why western progressives are uniformly anti-western culture and pro-islam, even though western culture is the most liberal in the world and islam is the most regressive culture on the planet. They will always glorify other cultures, even objectively worse cultures, as long as these cultures are opposed to their own.

Liberalism in the west will eat itself eventually, the problem is that it will also eat everything worthwhile about human civilization.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-selfie-is-now-deadlier-than-jaws-2015-09-22>Two travelers reportedly died in different instances in Peru recently while standing too close to the cliff ledge when posing for a photo. Last week, a 51-year-old man died when losing his balance at the edge of a cliff at Machu Picchu, in an area closed off to the public. He fell 130 feet. Prior to that, a South Korean tourist fell in northern Peru while taking a selfie at the Gocta waterfall, one of the tallest waterfalls in the world. He plunged more than 1,600 feet.

>There have been dozens of deaths related to tourists taking selfies in recent years, according to Condé Nast research. Last year, Condé Nast Traveler pointed out that the selfie now claims more lives than shark attacks -- and that’s just the widely-reported cases involving tourism.

>There is now an entire Wikipedia page devoted to selfie-related injuries and deaths. The latter ranging from a 21-year-old Spanish man who was electrocuted in March 2014 after climbing on top of a train to take a selfie with friends, to a Japanese tourist who died last August by injuries sustained when falling down a staircase while taking a selfie at the Taj Mahal. In 2016, numerous people have died falling off cliffs or drowning while attempting to take photos.

>Selfie photos taken too close to wildlife have become a danger as well, leading to the temporary shut down of Colorado's Waterton Canyon last August.

>“We’ve actually seen people using selfie sticks to try and get as close to the bears as possible, sometimes within 10 feet of wild bears,” said Brandon Ransom, Denver Water’s manager of recreation, in a blog post.

>The trio of young women were rescued 20 hours later after a fisherman eventually heard their cries, said Muskegon Township Deputy Fire Chief Bob Grabinski.

>The women, all in their 20s, had never been tubing before and decided it would be a fun thing to do, Grabinski said. So they bought some tubes and headed to the popular launch site at the Maple Island Road bridge, Grabinski said.

>"They were informed by somebody at the bridge that the river goes in a circle and if they put in there they would come back to their car," he said. "Not knowing anything, they set off on their little adventure."

>About six hours later, with darkness closing in and their car nowhere to be found, the trio decided to get out on the riverbank where they ended up spending the night, Grabinski said.

>"They said they hugged a tree all night yelling for help," he said, adding that that stretch of river is very isolated.

>About noon on Wednesday a fisherman floating the river heard their cries for help, investigated and then called 911. The women, one from Muskegon Heights and two from Muskegon, did not have a phone with them, Grabinski said.

>Muskegon Township firefighters launched their 16-foot jet propulsion river rescue boat from the Holton Duck Lake Road launch ramp and found the women about a quarter-mile downriver, he said. Dalton Township firefighters also responded with their boat in case it was needed.

>Other than a few bug bites and scratches, the women were fine, Grabinski said. He estimated they had traveled roughly 3 miles.

>"In their words, they're never going tubing again," he said. "My words are know the river or take someone with you who knows it and have a plan."

>No one reported the women missing, which brought Grabinski to a third piece of advice: Before heading out for an adventure, tell someone where you're going and what time you plan to return.

>With a murder defendant shouting obscenities at him and threatening to kill his family, a Superior Court judge in Rome last week became so enraged that he threatened to lock the man up for years and said, "You know, you look like a queer."

PENN TOWNSHIP, Pa. —
A Pennsylvania man was arrested Thursday after police said a human brain was recovered from under his home porch, which he used for smoking marijuana.

Joshua Long, 26, was charged on Thursday after his aunt found a human brain kept inside a Walmart shopping bag beneath the porch of Long’s trailer-home, The Washington Post reports. The aunt contacted Long in prison to ask about the brain and he told her it belonged to him and he used the embalming fluid to get high.

A Florida man is accused of holding a gun to his girlfriend's head while she breastfed their newborn infant.

The incident occurred Wednesday night when Kevin Smith came into the bedroom of a St. Augustine home and found his 22-year-old girlfriend breastfeeding their 2-week-old child with what he claimed was milk from another woman, the Palm Beach Post reported.

The girlfriend refused to hand over the baby while he held her down and put a gun her to head and mouth, police said.

According to the report, the victim's mother came home to the sounds of her daughter's screaming. She reported Smith tried to put her daughter and the baby in her husband's truck.

Smith was arrested and charged with battery, child neglect and obstructing justice.

As their investigation continued, police say they learned other children seen the clowns, and one child told them he was chased by what appeared to be the same three suspects dressed as clowns.

I knew it wasn't going to be an issue, that's why I did minimal prep. With the data given, I knew it was going to die down significantly before getting here, the hardest hit part of FL. But they all kept saying it wasn't survivable.

>Troopers say 43-year-old Michael Orchard of Inglewood Drive told them he mixed LSD with cough medicine Thursday afternoon and they found him, standing heroically with a dog in his arms outside of what he thought was a giant inferno.

>"He believed that the residence was on fire and he was rescuing the dog," said Trooper Mark Cepiel, Troop G spokesperson.

>Neighbors tell NewsChannel 13 Orchard went around the neighborhood banging on doors yelling about a fire. Since no one would help, because there was no fire. The animal lover took matters into his own hands to save the dog, allegedly driving his black BMW sedan through the fence. Troopers say once Orchard got through this fence with his vehicle, he got out, went up to the back door, smashed through it and went inside to save the family's large white dog.

>Orchard was charged with second-degree burglary and third-degree criminal mischief and put in county jail on $15,000 bail.

>Neighbors didn't want to go on camera because they're scared of retribution in the tightly packed development. Several neighbors listed things Orchard has allegedly destroyed in the past.

>We asked Cepiel why there were no drug charges if Orchard was allegedly high.

>"He drove over yards and through the fence. At no point was he on the roadway and no illegal substances were found in his possession," said Cepiel.

>Troopers say Orchard was very cooperative. The developers say they've already ordered the victims a new door. The dog was unharmed.

>Television station WALB in Georgia first reported Monday that investigators with the Coffee County Sheriff's Office arrested Michael Mancil, 30, and James Dryden Jr., 22, on Thursday and said "the massive amount of arsenal seized looked like something out of a movie, one where a small army was headed to war."

>Michael Vickers, a detective with the sheriff's office, told Alaska Dispatch News that both men confessed "that God told them to go and blow this machine up that kept souls, so souls could be released."

>Yesterday, the Shenzhen police's official Weibo account warned motorists that those caught driving with their brights on illegally would be made to stare straight into the blinding lights for an entire minute in order to teach them a lesson their corneas would not easily forget.

>Police added that drivers would also be fined 300 yuan, lose points on their license and be made to recite regulations on the proper use of headlights.

>The punishment has become one of the most highly-discussed topics on Chinese social media and has received near unanimous approval from netizens who have apparently been blinded one too many times.

>"Traffic police comrades, I believe this kind of punishment is not right, it's inhumane, they should have to look for 5 minutes," suggested one Weibo user.

>"The whole country should implement this immediately," wrote another.

>Still, there were others who were confused about how this could possibly a thing, considering that there is no Chinese law that prescribes this type of punishment.

>But, from shaming jaywalkers by making them "wear the green hat" to wielding badass sword-like batons, Shenzhen police have always marched to the sound of a different drum.

>"I admire the Shenzhen traffic police the most out of any force in the country. They really know how to have fun," commented one Weibo user.

>Defense Minister Julio Martinez said Kirchner and appointed officials lost 100 airplanes throughout her time in office, due mostly to a lack of proper maintenance.

>“We have to regain military capability,” Martinez said. “In the Falklands War, Argentina lost 70 aircraft, and in the last 10 years of Kirchnerism, for lack of maintenance and investment, 100 were lost.”

>According to a local media, the 12 years of Kirchner governing saw arms systems deprogrammed, as well as planes falling out of use due to a lack of spare parts.

>Chinese internet users began reporting last week that searches on the Twitter-like microblogging site Weibo and search engine Baidu for the expression returned no results, the normal sign that something is being blocked despite its wide usage.

The term - which refers to the weight of Kim, his father and grandfather - was last blocked in September after neighboring North Korea's latest nuclear test.

>Kim is unpopular in China because of his country's repeated nuclear and missile tests.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said reports the government had banned the search term "did not accord with the facts".

"What I want to stress is that China has always dedicated itself to constructing a rational, cultured and healthy environment for public opinion," Geng told a daily news briefing.

>China "does not approve of insulting or ridiculing language to address any country's leader", he added, without elaborating.

Both Baidu Inc and Sina Corp, which owns Weibo, declined to comment.

>China's internet regulator did not respond to a request for comment.

>Many Chinese, however, took to Weibo to suggest multiple other terms which sound similar to "Fatty Kim the Third" and which are not blocked.

No, you lie, YOU LIE, its impossible for Obamacare to help anyone. It was only bad, would only kill people, make hospitals ration healthcare and keep poor people alive........I mean not give the wealthily challenged the proper health care.

Clearly Vyrukas has already died from a untreated splinter and you are the Obama agent who has replaced him to extol about the virtues of Obamacare.

I'm onto you sucka. Where are you hiding the FEMA coffins? WHERE? WHERE ARE THEY?

>A few minutes later, the employee — all of the store employees, in fact — were nowhere to be found. Berry and his roommate, Philip Blackwell, said they were in the store with another customer for more than 30 minutes alone before an officer with the Richmond Police Department showed up.

>As for the third customer who was as confused as the two roommates, Berry said, “he was in the store before we were actually. He had a bad tooth, all he wanted was some Orajel. That’s all he needed.”

>“We were walking around trying to find an employee, and the cop himself ended up opening up the emergency door, which set the alarm off,” Berry explained. “A couple of minutes later, he got the call from the alarm company asking what was going on.”

>So the officer joined in on the search for the missing employees. Berry recorded a video on his Snapchat account of what happened next.

>“He was laughing with us because, like, this is how weird, apocalyptic movies start,” Berry said.

>In Berezovsky man died, to argue with the boon companion, that he will not be able to kill him. Earlier, a similar incident occurred with a woman on Sakhalin.

>According to the RF IC, on Tuesday night in the private room of the house on Karl Marx Street, two men were drinking alcohol. Between drinking companions there was a dispute about "whether to deprive a person of life poorly." As a result, 42-year-old previously convicted man, to confirm that "not weak", struck his 43-year-old companion several wounds with a kitchen knife, causing the victim died on the spot. Killer arrested.

>Recall that a few days ago in the Sakhalin area woman just lost the debate about its own violent death. The Okha company of five people - the landlord, his friend and three women were drinking alcohol. The owner showed the guests a traumatic gun, and they started shooting in the apartment walls. Later, guests and a 54-year-old woman had an argument on the 3 thousand. Rubles, can one of these weapons to kill a man. The man walked over to the argumentative and shot her in the head. She died on the spot. After that, the murdered corpse carried to the balcony, and thrown into the street. On suspicion of a crime is detained already tried for the murder of 32-year-old local resident.

In terms of fauna, it's dogs and durr which cause me the greatest concern, because they're the ones dumb enough to actually sprint toward the quarter-tonne fast-moving two-wheeled object, possess sufficient mass to pose a serious threat, and are actually quick enough to possibly intercept it "successfully".

Cats are smart enough to fuck off, turtles / tortoises are basically just FOD, and ni- er, raccoons and opossums are encountered relatively rarely as they generally try to spend as little time in the open as possible.

TL;DR Florida Man would likely have been just fine if only he'd been paying any fucking attention to the road.

THATCHER — A man causing a ruckus, entering the yards of homes without permission, found himself cited for possession of drug paraphernalia, despite efforts by the police to get him home safely. At about 9 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20, a Thatcher Police officer responded to an incident along North Reay Lane. There he found 51-year-old Danny Ray Hardesty yelling and walking through yards without permission.

The responding officer said there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from Hardesty and, when questioned if he was OK or if he had anything illegal on him, Hardesty reportedly said he was “all right.” He then reportedly took a bag of marijuana from his pocket and gave it to the officer.

The officer asked if Hardesty had a medical marijuana card and Hardesty said no, adding, “I am disabled” in slurred words.

Hardesty also reportedly said he had grown the marijuana with his “two hands,” adding, “I can do anything I want; I live in Arizona” and the officer was violating his “state of sobriety.” Hardesty was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia. The responding officer recovered .6 oz of marijuana.

A Des Moines woman facing a felony charge for allegedly voting twice in the 2016 general election has "significant mental deficits" and might not be competent to stand trial, her defense attorney wrote in a new filing.

Terri Lynn Rote, a registered Republican, was booked into jail Oct. 28 on a charge of first-degree election misconduct after investigators found that she cast an early ballot at the Polk County Election Office and then again at a satellite voting location, according to a police report.

Rote, 56, is currently scheduled to go to trial in February. But her court-appointed attorney, Jane White, filed a motion Tuesday asking a judge to order an evaluation to determine whether Rote is competent to stand trial.

White wrote that Rote is unable to stay focused for long periods and has other "cognitive limitations." Under Iowa law, a defendant must appreciate the nature of the charge, understand the court proceedings and be able to help prepare a defense for a case to move forward to trial, she wrote.

"It is unlikely that Defendant can assist in her defense or participate in the trial process," White wrote. "It is unknown if the Defendant has been diagnosed previously with a mental health disorder, but her interactions with counsel indicate to counsel that this may be the case."

A judge had not ruled on the motion as of Wednesday evening. But the proceedings would be put on hold if a judge does rule that an evaluation is necessary.

Rote admitted voting twice during an interview with Iowa Public Radio after her arrest. She feared that her first ballot for President-elect Donald Trump would be changed to a vote for Hillary Clinton.

“She was a great dancer,” Arthur Blank told USA TODAY Sports on Friday. “The only thing I’m sad about Sunday is that she’s not going to be here with us. But I believe in my heart that she’s floating around up there someplace and looking down and clapping her hands and proud of her son and proud of our franchise.”

“He’s fiery and competitive in so many cool ways,” Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said. “I remember years and years ago when we would have some tough times and we would be talking at midnight or 1 in the morning about it postgame. He said, ‘This is why I have you here, so that we can vent on the same level as far as what our frustrations and agitations are about making sure that we can create the best team we can.’”

Said Blank: “That’s just kind of the way I’m wired. I don’t like to lose. And we didn’t come here to Houston to lose.”

He admits getting nerves for games, but he tries to control them – “partly because I think if not, you would go insane,” Blank said. He says he also wants to set the right example for his six children, his wife’s three and five grandchildren who are here this week.

He speaks of the Falcons’ soon-to-be-completed new home, the $1.5 billion Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as an “iconic” venue that has become more unique as construction has unfolded. “I’m not a good person at saying no to good ideas and keep getting good ideas and keep saying yes to them,” Blank said.

He’s careful to say he doesn’t want to make a statement about one political party or president, but Blank makes his point clear when asked about protests that could occur outside NRG Stadium on Sunday – speaking among other things about a nation that “became great by the diversity that represents the history of this country and everybody coming from all over the world to fulfill their visions and their dreams” and needs to create more opportunities for the middle class.

“I care deeply about those values,” said Blank, who is Jewish. “It’s what drives all our foundation work and all of our businesses. So, I want to continue to support people who look for answers that are embracing and are inclusive, and not building either physical walls or emotional walls or walls of language. That’s not what’s made our country great.”

Those values surely were influenced by his parents as well, and in particular his mother, who was “a great folk dancer, classical dancer, pop dancer,” Blank said. “All of the women in my family are great dancers – my daughters, wife.”

Blank’s dance moves are … well, unorthodox. But he hasn’t been shy about showing them off, whether it was doing Cam Newton’s “dab” after the Falcons upset the Carolina Panthers late last season or getting down with receiver Mohamed Sanu on stage after the NFC Championship Game victory over the Green Bay Packers a couple weeks ago.

As long as the Falcons win, it seems, the spirit moves him.

“That’s just a dance of joy and emotion,” Blank said. “There’s not a lot of structure to it, but there is a lot of joy to it.”

>An official with the Department of Justice in New York, where Sedlak was prosecuted, refused to release the name of the charity organization, citing doing so would go against their normal practice.

>The charity was revealed in court documents online that Reuters obtained, which were later redacted by prosecutors and put back online.

What a fucking laugh, it's confirmed that the Clinton Foundation defended the name of Boko Haram from being identified as a terrorist organization in Washington, while having hefty investments in BH's playground. It makes you wonder how it must feel to be a journalist these days: helping more character assassinations than solving or reporting flagrant crimes.

>Police say a man who shoplifted from a convenience store in the downtown core broke his arms and legs after he fell 30 feet while attempting to flee from store staff.

>According to investigators, shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday, a man stole lottery tickets from Rabba near Blue Jays Way and Front Street. When the store employees noticed the theft, police say they gave chase.

>While attempting to flee, the suspect tried to jump over the railing of a pedestrian bridge near the Rogers Centre but misjudged the height of the bridge and fell 30 feet.

>The man, who is believed to be in his late 20s, was taken to hospital with broken arms and legs but is expected to survive.

>When employees learned about the suspect's injuries, they decided not to press charges, police added.

The Canadian Brazilian jiu-jitsu championship was postponed Sunday after Montreal police threatened to arrest participants. Police say the event violates a section of Canadian law that forbids sports containing strikes and kicks. The Canada Pro Jiu-Jitsu Championships was organised by the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation and the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, and was supposed to feature more than 200 competitors from around the world. Organisers say police contacted them Friday to convey that event was illegal, and that any participant could be arrested. They've rescheduled the event for 5 March, at another, undisclosed, venue.

The championship has been held in Montreal for nine years, said Guy Mondreuil, who runs a Brazilian jiu-jitsu studio in Quebec City. This is the first time he has heard of police cracking down on a Brazilian jiu-jitsu event. "I don't know what's going on," Mr Mondreuil told the BBC. "It's not a good thing." Montreal police also cancelled a separate kickboxing event scheduled for the same day.

Organisers of the Canadian championship say Brazilian jiu-jitsu does not involve strikes with the hand, fists or feet, which are illegal in Canada. A spokesperson from Montreal's police force, Service de Police de la Ville de Montreal (SPVM) told the BBC that police received a complaint about both events, and were legally required to shut them down. According to section 83 of the Criminal Code of Canada, sports that contain "an encounter or fight with fists, hands or feet" are illegal, unless they are part of the International Olympic Committee programme. Neither kickboxing nor Brazilian jiu-jitsu are part of the Olympics.

But Albertho Mercedat, an organiser of the kickboxing event, says kickboxing is legal in Quebec, and the police have it wrong. "The SPVM continues to claim arbitrarily that kick-boxing is an illegal combat sport on its territory," , he wrote on Facebook, He said the event will be rescheduled for later in July, an that he is "convinced that the SPVM will positively change its position soon." The law banning combat sports outside the IOC was updated in 2013 to also allow provinces to regulate sports themselves, which paved the way for amateur mixed-martial arts (MMA) tournaments and Ultimate Fighting Championship events, ncluding in Quebec.

Organisers of the Canadian Brazilian jiu-jitsu championship say Brazilian jiu-jitsu should not be affected by section 83 at all, because it does not feature strikes by hands, fist, or feet. Instead, Brazilian jiu-jitsu focuses on grappling and ground fighting, where practitioners try and place their opponents in choke or joint holds. They say police may be confusing their sport with the Japanese form of jiu-jitsu, which does include strikes.

>"When you go onto a United flight, you shouldn’t have to be concerned there will be blood or you will get slammed in the face," Schiffer said. "I think you will see an effect on sales from those who are disgusted by the gruesome action. And it’s catastrophic for a brand’s trust."

>Then, as Fearns tells it, a United employee rushed onto the aircraft and informed him that he had to get off the plane.

>“I asked why,” he told me. “They said the flight was overfull.”

>Fearns, like the doctor at the center of that viral video from Sunday night, held his ground. He was already on the plane, already seated. He shouldn’t have to disembark.

>“That’s when they told me they needed the seat for somebody more important who came at the last minute,” Fearns said. “They said they have a priority list and this other person was higher on the list than me.”

>“I understand you might bump people because a flight is full,” Fearns said. “But they didn’t say anything at the gate. I was already in the seat. And now they were telling me I had no choice. They said they’d put me in cuffs if they had to.”

A doctor at a fertility clinic in the Mississippi capital of Jackson has made a startling revelation concerning a couple who sought treatment at the center. The married pair, who cannot be named to due to patient confidentiality restrictions, had been struggling to conceive and came to the clinic to take part in the IVF program.
“During the in vitro fertilization process, we take a DNA sample from both the male and female to get a profile of their genetic backgrounds,” the doctor involved told Mississippi Herald, whose name must also be suppressed to protect the identities of the patients.

“It’s just a routine thing, and we wouldn’t normally check to see if there was a relationship between the two samples, but in this case the lab assistant involved was shocked by the similarity of each profile.” The lab assistant summoned the doctor, who knew almost instantly that the patients must have been related. “My first reaction was that they must have been less-closely related; perhaps they were first cousins, which does happen sometimes. However, looking closer at the samples, I noticed there were way too many similarities.” The doctor consulted the patient’s files, and noted with shock that both had the exact same birth dates listed in 1984. “With this in mind, I was convinced that both patients were fraternal twins.”

The doctor now had a dilemma on his hands: did the married couple already know that they were twins, and had yet still married and now hoped to conceive a child together? Or were they blissfully unaware of the situation. “It was a titillating subject to raise, but I had to discuss it with them,” said the doctor with flushed cheeks and visible perspiration. During their next appointment at the clinic, the doctor did his best to break the news gently. “They burst out laughing when I asked them if they knew they were twins,” he said. “The husband said that a lot of people remarked on the fact that they shared the same birthdays, and looked similar to each other, but he said it was just a funny coincidence and that the couple were definitely not related. The poor man had no idea.”

After the doctor insisted that the DNA evidence proved the pair were twins, the couple started to take him more seriously. “The wife kept pleading with me to admit I was joking, and I wish that I was, but they had to know the truth,” said the doctor. Once the news had sunk in, the doctor tried to establish how the twin brother and sister had unknowingly wed each other. “From what we were able to piece together, the biological parents of the couple had died in a car crash when the couple were infants, and they had no close family willing to adopt them. They’d been taken into state care, and were adopted out to separate families. Due to a filing error, neither foster family had ever been told that their adopted child had a twin.”

The doctor explained that the couple had met during college, and a relationship between the pair soon flourished. “They were attracted to each other due to their similarities,” said the doctor. “The fact that they’d both been adopted, after their parents had died, meant they’d both experienced a similar childhood, and they felt they could really connect with each other. If only they had known the truth, it could have saved them so much pain later on.” For now, the couple are reported to be considering the future of their relationship. “I really hope they can work something out,” said the doctor. “For me, it’s a particularly unusual case because my job is all about helping couples conceive a child. This is the first time my career has been like my japanese animes.”

From a legal standpoint, marriage between siblings in Mississippi is prohibited and subject to a prison term of up to 10 years. However, the maximum fine is only $500, which critics have claimed encourages marriage between siblings or close relatives. In this case, however, it is believed the couple involved will not face charges due to the unique circumstances of their case.

JERSEY CITY -- A 40-year-old Hoboken man with a history of using urine as a weapon has been charged with urinating on a Hoboken police officer at police headquarters Wednesday.

Kenny B. Roberts, of the 300 block of Bloomfield Avenue, is charged with throwing bodily fluids at a police officer and hindering apprehension, the criminal complaint says. In October 2015 he was charged with a similar offense after he was picked up on a drug charge.

>A man described as one of the ringleaders in the 2012 theft of $18.7 million worth of maple syrup has been sentenced to eight years in prison, but that term could be extended if he can't pay his multimillion-dollar fine.

>If Vallières does not pay the fine, he will have to spend an additional six years behind bars.

>The elaborate maple syrup robbery involved 3,000 tonnes of syrup from a warehouse belonging to the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers — the regulatory body that controls and manages the syrup trade.

>The heist was discovered when a routine inventory check in July 2012 turned up an empty barrel that was supposed to be full of syrup. Officials with the federation quickly realized that dozens of its barrels contained not syrup, but water.

>The resulting investigation by Quebec provincial police led to the arrests of 26 people.

>Vallières was found guilty of theft, fraud and trafficking stolen goods. During his trial in Quebec Superior Court, he said that he had filled the barrels with water. His lawyer argued he had been coerced to fill the barrels with water by a man who carried a gun.

>But witnesses called by the Crown painted him as one of the ringleaders of the heist.

>Vallières's co-accused, his father Raymond, and a New Brunswick-based syrup reseller, Etienne St-Pierre, have also been found guilty for roles in the robbery.

>On Monday night, Colgate University officials warned that there was an armed person on campus and advised people to find a safe place. For several hours, the campus remained locked down.

>Everyone was safe. There was no gunman, police later determined. But many students were angry when they learned the reason for the alarm: Someone called Colgate’s Campus Safety when they saw a black student who had a glue gun that he was using for a school project.

>A senior at Colgate described the person who prompted the lockdown as a freshman who “ran fearing for his life having heard that there were reports of an active shooter on campus. … a SWAT team, a tank, and police units from across the area were called in, all because some random person saw a black man with a glue gun and assumed the worst.”

A Las Vegas man is facing a first-degree arson charge after two fires were set at a Jewish center on Monday night, authorities said. FBI and Las Vegas police said they were looking at whether the fires represented hate crimes.

Afshin Bahrampour, 47, was arrested on one count of first-degree arson, three counts of third-degree arson and one count of burglary in connection with the fires at the Chabad Jewish Center of Las Vegas and Southern Nevada, 1261 Arville St., near West Charleston Boulevard, according to a Tuesday statement from the Las Vegas Fire Department.

>Patterson's attorney claims that his client accidentally choked Marquinez during oral sex. To prove it, attorney Ken Padowitz wants a Broward County judge to allow Patterson to show his penis to the jury.

>...

>Padowitz said in a motion filed earlier this month that he intends to call Wright, a former Broward County medical examiner, as an expert witness to testify that Marquinez's death "is consistent with being accidentally sexually asphyxiated during oral sex."

The woman's body was allowed to decompose for two days while the guy tried to figure out what to do, making the detection of bruising around the face and neck impossible. Still, strangulation was found to be unlikely. The defense dropped the death-by-oral-sex theory, though they claimed that's what the guy thought had happened, while she could have died from a heart attack or stroke for all anyone could tell.

>FBI and Tampa Police Department officers found a cooler containing a white cake-like substance in Brandon Russell’s garage, underneath his apartment, that tested positive for hexamethane triperoxide diamine, which is a precursor to several different types of explosives. He was arrested by federal agents Sunday on possession of unregistered destructive devices and unlawful storage of explosive charges.

>Inside Russell’s bedroom, they found a framed photograph of Timothy McVeigh, who was convicted and put to death for bombing the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. They also found Nazi/white supremacist propaganda, according to the FBI complaint. While in his bedroom, devices used by police bomb technicians alerted to the presence of radiation sources — thorium and americium.

>Before asking for an attorney, Russel told FBI agents he was a “national socialist,” according to the complaint, and a member of a group called the “Atom Waffen,” or “atomic weapon” in German.

>He said the explosives were manufactured in 2013 for a rocket-making project he was working on for the engineering club at the University of South Florida to send balloons into the atmosphere. But FBI Agent Timothy Swanson wrote in his report that HMTD is “too energetic and volatile for these types of uses.”

>Swanson was notified by the U.S Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on May 20 that the materials found in Russell’s garage are considered explosives under federal law, and were illegally stored and not registered.

>More than 30 members and associates of a New York City-based Russian organized crime group are named in federal court papers charging them with racketeering, murder for hire and other crimes, including trafficking tens of thousands of pounds of stolen chocolate, law enforcement sources familiar with the case tell NBC 4 New York.

Germany to destroy 35 tons of fidget spinners imported from China>Frankfurt airport customs authorities said Friday they confiscated 35 metric tons (39 U.S. tons) of the tiny twirling gadgets in May alone and plan on crushing them out of existence.

>Police were called to Shanghai Pudong International Airport and the elderly passenger, who had been travelling with her husband, daughter and son-in-law, was taken away for questioning. They later confirmed the passenger, surnamed Qiu, had thrown the coins "to pray for safety" and they had been informed by a neighbour that she "believes in Buddhism". The plane was finally able to take off safely at 5:52pm local time (7:52pm AEST), more than five hours late.

>China Southern Airlines reminded all passengers to comply with civil aviation laws in a post on social media site Weibo, and to avoid any behaviour that could jeopardise the safety of their fellow passengers.

>At least twenty cases have surfaced in the last several months. The silhouette of three “cheeks,” so to speak, is the featured signature of the anonymous artist.

>“The bottom line is whoever is doing this is destroying property,” St. Petersburg Assistant Police Chief Jim Previterra said. “They are marking up the beautiful downtown area of St. Petersburg.”

>Indeed, St. Pete is a city known for its beautiful art and stunning murals. Many people are upset by this new graffiti involving a tush trend. They don’t like the fact that the bold buttocks are suddenly everywhere.

>“This is not art. At all,” said one woman. “It’s vandalism.”

>“There should be consequences. You can’t just take it upon yourself to do whatever you want to do,” another man said.

>The assistant police chief describes it as an “eyesore.”

>“It’s causing the city to have to go around behind who this is and clean up,” he said. “And, we have to dedicate more resources to it.”

>In the end, the mystery man or woman who is showcasing these backsides will most likely get a front row seat in a court room

>The man was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital in a critical condition, but was stabilised later.

>The woman, who was shot in the leg by police, was taken to The Alfred hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

>Inflation owner Martha Tsamis​, who has been locked in several battles with police over the years, said that security had not been approached by any concerned patrons prior to the raid. It is unknown who informed police about the gun.

>"Venue staff have stated that the male victim was not holding anything in his hand but rather he was in a compromising position with his female partner, which is a normal activity with the nature of this event," she wrote in a statement on Facebook.

A battle is brewing at Western Michigan University this summer between a group of hungry goats and a labor union.

The 400-member American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has filed a grievance contending that the work the goats are doing in a wooded lot is taking away jobs from laid-off union workers.

A spokeswoman said the university had brought in a crew of the nimble-footed ruminants “to clear undergrowth in a woodlot, much of it poison ivy and other vegetation that is a problem for humans to remove….Not wanting to use chemicals, either, we chose the goat solution to stay environmentally friendly.”

The goats are already ahead of schedule in their task of clearing 15 acres before the fall semester – unless the National Labor Relations Board gets mad and decides to charge in.

Asleep in the mountains northwest of Boulder, Colo., a teenage camp counselor was awakened Sunday morning by a loud crunching sound.

The noise was the sound of large teeth scraping against his skull, he told Denver ABC-affiliate KMGH. A black bear, the teen realized, was trying to pull him out of his sleeping bag by his head.

“It grabbed me like this and pulled me, and then it bit the back of my head and dragged me,” the teen, identified only by his first name, Dylan, told KMGH. “When it was dragging me, that was the slowest part. It felt like it went forever.”

Fellow staffers and campers were roused by the commotion and tried to scare the bear away as Dylan fought back. The bear dragged Dylan about 10 feet, then dropped him and walked away.

Dylan was taken to the hospital. His injuries weren’t life threatening. Authorities are searching for the bear, which will likely be euthanized, according to the Associated Press.

>Alana Nicole Donahue, 27, was arrested shortly before 8:30 p.m., less than an hour after Springfield police received calls from concerned motorists.

>According to Lt. Scott McKee, Donahue told police she “didn’t understand what the problem was because she was only driving 5 mph and she just wanted to show the kids a good time.”

>Donahue was not intoxicated, according to McKee.

>According to the logs, several drivers stopped their cars and confronted the mother, who then tried to drive away. She eventually stopped and put the wagon inside the Taurus and allegedly told one driver to “be an adult about it,” the logs state.

>The 3-year-old girl’s body was pulled Saturday from the in-ground container used to trap cooking grease at Brewster’s Real Ice Cream in Auburn, the newspaper added.

>“Video evidence from the scene shows that the young girl was playing with two of her siblings when she apparently fell through a lid covering one of the grease pits on the property,” Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said in a release.

>“She had been missing about 5-10 minutes when she was found unresponsive in the grease trap,” the coroner said.

>The girl was taken to a hospital where she was declared dead Saturday afternoon, according to the release. It said that her death is considered an accidental drowning.

>“No foul play is suspected and the death investigation indicates that she drowned in the sludge that was in the six-foot-deep inground container,” according to Harris.

>Sen. Rand Paul is recovering from five broken ribs and bruises to his lungs, and it is unclear when he will return to Washington, aides said Sunday, signaling that injuries he sustained Friday are far more severe than initially thought.

>The second-term Republican senator from Kentucky and 2016 presidential candidate was attacked, allegedly by a next-door neighbor, Rene Boucher, 59, who was charged with fourth-degree assault.

>Paul made his first public comments since the incident on Sunday, tweeting that his wife “Kelley and I appreciate the overwhelming support after Friday’s unfortunate event. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.”

>Doug Stafford, Paul’s chief of staff, said in a statement Sunday that the senator has five rib fractures, including three displaced fractures, meaning the bones are partly or completely cracked.

>“This type of injury is caused by high velocity severe force. It is not clear exactly how soon he will return to work, as the pain is considerable as is the difficulty in getting around, including flying,” Stafford said.

>Paul has lung contusions, or bruises, caused by the broken ribs, Stafford said. He could not say whether one lung was bruised or both, but said Paul’s recovery could last several months. Such fractures can cause other significant medical problems, including internal bleeding, damage to other organs or pneumonia.

>The nature of the dispute between Paul and Boucher remained a mystery Sunday to locals who know both men as medical professionals based in this southwestern Kentucky town.
